Upload new employers and details to MyCareer, but also use a local excel file to track all our engagement with contacts

# data[].attributes.body
The WPT keep an Excel sheet of all new organisations we've attempted to connect with, which is updated as and when anything develops further (e.g. if we've met with them, or a role is offered ). We then create an employer profile on MyCareer with any meeting notes attached.

...Lucy and others in the team have been helpful with pointing me in the direction of potential PGR employers.

...usually to engage with PGR alumni.

I have used the MyCareer data base as well as making my own, ad-hoc contacts which I have on a spreadsheet, though there aren't 'loads' of them.

As the lead for working with PGRs I think that this is overlooked somewhat. I, along with a couple of PGR interns have recently put on a small PGR only careers fair which, from the feedback, was well received, especially from the employers.

We talk to students a lot about looking for opportunities with smaller companies and I don't know how they can find out who these are. Any research that can be done would really help.

Readily accessible sector specific labour market information particularly in (Yorkshire) would be very helpful. Details of employers operating in certain sectors. This could provide another useful database for outreach.

Employer Team already signpost relevant employers to faculty teams, this is great.
If faculty teams could be made more regularly aware of new relevant employers being added to MyCareer that would be helpful- targeted outreach with these employers could be developed from there.

Have only attended very occasional sector events. Perhaps this is something we can do more of?

Indirect relationship development / outreach via employer faculty career talks and alumni connection events.

Potential new employers (via Employer Team or other outreach) quite often want to develop connections with faculties and raise awareness of their opportunities.

Employer outreach occuring indirectly via alumni who we invite to annual student networking event. Opportunities develop this way.

As there are probably a lot of employers that we deal with within Apprenticeships that are also in touch with the Employer Engagement Team - I think it would be useful for us to look at cross selling/ outreach so we are no inundating the same people with UoL emails, calls, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of our methods of outreach are fairly standard e.g. Mailmerges, microsoft forms etc. but when writing pieces for the training sessions we will sometimes use Chat GPT to build a basic structure/ idea generation that we then tailor to the session e.g. top 10 benefits for employers to take on an apprentice.

# data[].attributes.body
We have an Access Database to meet the funding requirements of the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). Within this database is a list of all our employer contacts which we can filter by Programme, location, etc. to issue relevant comms/ reminders about events.

# data[].attributes.body
Within the apprenticeships team we regularly attend events with employers to showcase the programmes available at UoL.

We also hold training sessions with employers on key topics of apprenticeships e.g. what are off the job hours, how to be a great mentor, etc.
These sessions help to build a relationship of trust with our key employers and secure return business in a saturated market.
