· 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
