Yesterday I attended a university committee at which my director presented our draft key performance indicators for employability. There were seven KPIs proposed as follows:
- Destination statistics
- Opportunities for career planning
- Support for the development of employability within courses
- Opportunities and support for work experience and placements
- Opportunities for developing employability outside the curriculum
- Engagement with employers
- External recognition and validation
The committee, however, recommended that we have just two: do our graduates get a graduate job and how much are they paid? Whilst I understand that the
Browne Review places considerable pressure on universities to show potential students what return they will get for their investment (and rightly so), I can't help thinking that we're confusing institution-level KPIs with service-level KPIs.
I'd be interested in your comments, especially if you're from a careers service who's also wrestling with meaningful KPIs.
