There are three research questions which this project will address:
- What is the impact of our current employability activities where alumni have an input?
- Are there any ways in which our alumni can help to raise the aspirations and enhance the employability of our students that we are failing to exploit effectively?
- Where within the student life-cycle can we make better use of alumni?
The answers that the project provides to these questions will be accessible across Higher Education in the form of a 'Promoting employability: how to get the most from your alumni' information pack. The pack will include:
- evidence of the impact of alumni-led employability activities
- 'hints and tips' advice for working with alumni and a list of possible activities
- suggestions for use of alumni at different points within the student life-cycle
- sample activity plan
The pack will be available at the end of the project.
