Employment and employability are at the forefront of graduates’ thinking about their future. Instead of debating whether getting a job should be the sole, main or secondary purpose in attending higher education, we should focus more on improving the evidence base on what works to improve that employability.
Especially given the current cost-of-living crisis, with rising inflation eroding the value of graduate salaries, and with questions about the future of work looming, we owe it to young people to ensure our warm words about graduate employment are underpinned by policies and practices that deliver.
