This document summarizes data on the UK graduate labor market. It finds that while there are some misunderstandings about universal university attendance and lack of graduate jobs, outcomes remain good with over 70% of graduates in professional jobs within 6 months. While graduate mobility is decreasing, skills shortages are significant and worsening in fields like engineering, nursing, and tech. Overall, the graduate labor market is fundamentally sound but there are opportunities to better match graduate skills with market demand.

Accelerating AI Integration with Collaborative Learning - Kinga Petrovai - So...SocialHRCamp
Speaker: Kinga Petrovai
You have the new AI tools, but how can you help your team use them to their full potential? As technology is changing daily, it’s hard to learn and keep up with the latest developments. Help your team amplify their learning with a new collaborative learning approach called the Learning Hive.
This session outlines the Learning Hive approach that sets up collaborations that foster great learning without the need for L&D to produce content. The Learning Hive enables effective knowledge sharing where employees learn from each other and apply this learning to their work, all while building stronger community bonds. This approach amplifies the impact of other learning resources and fosters a culture of continuous learning within the organization.

5. The reality
39% of the adult population (16-64) of the UK had
a degree at the end of 2018
44% of the UK workforce has a degree or
equivalent qualification
Less than half of students currently aged 14-18 will
ever go to university, and it’s unlikely we’ll ever see
a situation where half even of a given age group
goes to university.
6. What everyone knows about the graduate labour
market: 2. ‘There are no jobs for graduates’
7. The reality
136,000 UK graduates from 2017 were known to

graduating (74% of graduates)
Annual Population Survey data showed that at the
end of 2018, there were 14.8m people working in
professional-level jobs in the UK
Or 46% of the workforce
APS data also shows that the UK added 353,500
new professional-level jobs in 2018

going away to university – 24%
Loyals: born, brought up, educated and now
working in the same place – 45%

This pattern is long-standing and mobility may
even be falling

underutilisation remains a serious issue
Not matching graduate supply and demand as a
nation very effectively
