·       USP to local employers – number of local students

·       Because of placements we have students with a good amount of experience already when graduate

·       For employers wanting to increase diversity we have a lot of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds and 1st gen uni etc. (not BAME) though challenges around how we reach those students

·       Other good opportunities such as apprenticeships, Business Clinic, Help to Grow etc.

·       Large number of SMEs (48%) and challenges in engaging them, not homogenous, more time consuming – uncertainty around continuation of funding for internships

·       Strong industrial clusters e.g. process industry

·       Increase in new business start-ups in region

·       Less businesses in region overall in comparison to others

·       Increase in public sector opportunities as result of government levelling up agenda e.g. Darlington Economic Campus launch and relocation of government departments such as HM Treasury

·       Regional strengths in Advanced manufacturing, Life Sciences, Digital, Energy
