HERA Barometer for December 2009
The HERA Barometer aims to provide Government and stakeholders with details on how higher education institutions in different English regions are assisting in economic recovery.
The latest Barometer report has just been released by HEFCE and contains information from London Higher members on a range of initiatives and projects such as:
- employability workshops and intensive career advice sessions for students and recent graduates;
- business support through internships, funding sources such as Knowledge Connect or ECIF, and knowledge transfer collaborations.
A further report is planned for early 2010 before a review of the Barometer project. Please contact Paresh Shah for further information.
