Prof Zahir Irani, Head of Brunel Business School, has been invited to speak at the prestigious Westminster Employment Forum and Westminster Higher Education Forum, in recognition for our achievement in student employability. The event will take place on 18th October in Central London.
Bringing together key policymakers with stakeholders – including university leaders and careers advice staff, graduate recruiters and social mobility groups – delegates at this seminar will consider how universities and employers can work together to ensure that graduates have the abilities necessary to compete for employment in the knowledge-based economy. Delegates will assess the recommendations arising from Sir Tim Wilson’s Review of Business-University Collaboration, particularly the role of work placements, gap years and internships in enhancing employability and enterprise skills.
