Consultations

DIUS: A consultation to build stronger & more flexible links between business and universities has been launched by Minister of State for Higher Education, Bill Rammell. The High Level Skills consultation (closes 7 July 2008) will seek views from employers, students, colleges and universities on how to raise the skills of those already in work and also ensure graduates are equipped with the knowledge & abilities that businesses need to compete globally.
 
Last year the Government announced new moves to foster closer ties between universities and industry, with an aim of 20,000 full-time equivalent additional students being co-funded by employers and the Higher Education Funding Council for England by 2010/11.
