PROJECT SUMMARY
Following feedback from partners and stakeholders suggesting that employers would benefit from a straightforward guide to higher education, Progress South Central commissioned the production of Develop your workforce - Employer's Guide to Higher Education. This booklet explains how businesses can benefit from work-based higher education and the various levels and types of qualification available. It also directs employers to where they can access higher education near them and provides other useful contact addresses.
IMPACT
Two editions of the booklet were produced, each with print runs of 1000 each. Distribution concentrated on our partner institutions, including Careers and KTPs, Aimhigher, Chambers of Commerce, regional ELPs and also to The Surrey Research Park. The booklet is available online on the PSC website and Unite, Unison and UCU Trade Unions were notified of its presence. Copies have been widely distributed to employers by our partners and have been well received.
The second edition is now available on request (please email us at psc@reading.ac.uk) or can be accessed from our 'Publications' page.
