GRADUATE OUTCOMES DATA USE IN THE UK AND IRELAND – Friday 9th May 12.00-14.00 online
On Friday 9 May we hosted another insightful session where we heard from, and put questions to, the guardians of the Graduate Outcomes surveys in both the UK and Ireland. Not only that, but we had case studies from two HEIs – Dublin City University and the University of Nottingham, and we were joined by members of AGCAS Data Insights Working Party too.
The case studies focused on the sharing of good practice, making use of the survey data and how they work across their universities to turn data into insights, into actions and stories, and revealing the successes of our graduates.
