Phoenix October 2018 (Issue 155) – Regional Collaboration
The October 2018 issue of Phoenix explores how higher education careers services are approaching regional collaboration.
Regionalisation is a strategic them of AGCAS due to its ongoing importance in the national discourse of graduate employability. AGCAS members have a strong track record of delivering regional employability initiatives. This ‘regional tour’ edition will take you on an employability journey across the UK with insights from England, Scotland and Wales and from a wide variety of institutions. The regional initiatives themselves are incredibly diverse and with various areas of focus: students and graduates, employers, local government and enhancing links between neighbouring institutions.
