Labour Market Information for Higher Education

Universities and other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need intelligence about their home region in order to make a full contribution to regional competitiveness. However, it is generally accepted that regional and local reports (for example from Training and Enterprise Councils) often neglect the interests, needs and contributiosn of HEIs. This guide provides best practice benchmarks in three important areas: How HEIs can use regional labour market intelligence (LMI) and other local research to change what they do, and serve regional as well as other needs; what types of regional LMI are most valuable to HEIs, and where current reports fail to provide this; and how HEIs and regionals partners can work together in this area, as partners.
