Go Higher Industry Insight Impact Report Briefing

Calling all employers engaging with young people! Does your business do outreach with young people? Are you an apprenticeship provider? A local business curious about how you can engage with young people? Or a Uni Connect who would like to learn from West Yorkshire’s approach to employer engagement?
In this session, Sophie Elizabeth Smith, Project Officer (Data, Evaluation and Impact) for Go Higher West Yorkshire Uni Connect will share findings from our Go Higher Industry Insight Programme evaluation report.
The Go Higher Industry Insight programme is a series of subject specific events, aiming to provide secondary school learners with high quality, meaningful experiences of industry, relevant employer engagement, careers and Higher Education (HE) opportunities. At each event, higher education providers (HEPs), local employers, and wider industry partners collaborate to introduce learners to a range of subject specialisms and the different HE options in the area. Each event is hosted in either a HE or industry setting and offers interactive opportunities for learners to experience the industry under the spotlight.
Highlights of the session will include
- An overview of Go Higher Industry Insight activities
- Findings from the evaluation of the programme delivered in 23-24
- Recommendations for employers and programme designers
Target Audience – Careers and education professionals and employers
