In a Covid and post-Covid context, with a deep recession and one of the most challenging youth labour markets we’ve seen in the UK since the 80s, the issues of employability and the purpose of Higher Education (HE) are becoming all the more urgent. Therefore, today we’re joined by two fantastic guests, Professor Paul Ashwin and Minto Felix, to discuss the relationship between HE and the labour market.
