Workforce development and employability in the South West conference

How can industry, universities and colleges work together to upskill the workforce and increase the employability of students in science, engineering and maths?  This conference will provide a great opportunity to find out how:

- a large multi-national hydrographic surveying employer, Fugro, has been working with Plymouth University and the Royal Navy to address the upskilling needs of the offshore surveying industry

- maths students at the University of Exeter have worked with employers to make the content of their degree course more focused on the skills they need in the workplace

- STEM students in the region carry out around 2,600 projects with employers per year which represents over 1 million person-hours and benefits both the business' bottom lines and the students' employability skills

                        and much more....
