Talent Fishing findings shared at UKCGE conference
The findings of CIHE’s Talent Fishing report were presented to the UK Council for Graduate Education’s summer conference earlier this month by Associate Director Helen Connor.
The presentation entitled ‘Employers’ perspectives on the value of Postgraduate Education’ included key findings such as the high demand and strong satisfaction with higher degrees and concerns about the increasing plethora and variable quality of postgraduate qualifications.
The research identified five different types of employers based on how and why they recruit postgraduates. These include:
- Trawlers
- Spearfishers
- Anglers
- Harvesters
- Baitless
