Measuring and Improving Graduates’ Life Quality Beyond Employment Outcomes - HEA Surveys Conference 2017

The Office of National Statistics (ONS) Subjective Wellbeing (SWB) items are proposed as an Optional Question Bank in HESA’s revised DLHE survey https://www.hesa.ac.uk/innovation/newdlhe/survey/optional. The workshop describes what happens when university career services supplement the DLHE survey with these items. The combined data support curriculum-based interventions which offer graduate-level lives to all university leavers as an alternative to enabling half to secure graduate-level employment at a cost of around £234 000 per job.

This workshop explores how curriculum partnerships can employ the expertise of career and learning development advisers to simultaneously improve graduates’ employability students’ life quality and National Student Survey (NSS) scores. Many teenage students want happiness excitement community satisfaction and fulfilment today more than they want employability in a couple of years’ time. The workshop will demonstrate methods for delivering career development and autonomy by harnessing these motivations.
