News: Importance of graduate retention highlighted in report

A report commissioned by Graduates Yorkshire highlights the crucial role that graduates have in supporting and strengthening the knowledge intensive sectors in the region. Graduates Yorkshire Chief Executive Martin Edmondson: "For many in business and industry the use of knowledge to produce economic benefits will be crucial to compete and grow and knowledge rich resources such as know how, expertise and intellectual property will be key. We see graduates playing a central role in this transition, providing employers with a huge resource just waiting to be tapped and promising a high value return.” According to the report Leeds remains the flagship of the region’s graduate economy while Sheffield and Rotherham continue to benefit from the regenerating effect of graduate recruitment and retention.
