Dr Brooke Storer-Church said:
“We are delighted to support the establishment of a national awards programme recognising outstanding employability initiatives in higher education. GuildHE represents a large number of the UK’s most mission-driven institutions, focusing on vocational and technical higher education, and including major providers of professional study in education and community service; healthcare; agriculture, food and the built environment; business and law; and the creative arts. The new awards will not only celebrate innovation and best practice but also drive a focus on equipping graduates with the essential skills and knowledge they need to succeed in a rapidly changing work landscape, ultimately benefiting graduates and employers alike.”
These fantastic new awards are organised by the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) in partnership with Universities UK, GuildHE and the Institute of Student Employers, along with corporate sponsors Virtual Internships. Open to universities in the UK and Ireland to enter, the Academic Employability Awards will celebrate academics who provide excellent employability support to students through their teaching practice and provide a platform for sharing good practice.
