Employability demands data

The recruitment landscape and workplace behaviours have changed, with businesses across all sectors adapting to new challenges. But, do we have the data and digital capabilities to meet the emerging workforce demand? How can we understand the market better, and how do we match it to student supply at local and regional levels? Employability has an impact on more than just universities. Data can support and inspire organisations to create a capable, innovative and diverse workforce, whichever sector.   

Research analytics: understanding systems, resources and decision-making

There is a valuable opportunity for data about research to be used on a grander scale. We can all collaborate to develop and use data effectively, ethically, and responsibly under the best practices. By exploring the potential of trusted research analytics, we can support sector intelligence, create new opportunities, stimulate open innovation and enhance the resilience and power of data.
