- ABSTRACTOn the other side of the Atlantic, career services in Higher Education have long been mandated by the UK government to collect data on what our students are doing, six months after the completion of their course. With ambitious response targets and the new use of these data in pre-admissions material, this survey, known as DLHE (Destinations of Leavers of Higher Education) is a big part of our work.This presentation aims to give a summary of the âlessons learntâ from UK: Methods of collecting this data Use and usefulness of this data for career services and the wider university Opportunities to improve this dataAlthough the University of Oxford outsources data collection, case studies where collection is completed âin houseâ will be provided.ABOUT THE SPEAKERLucy Hawkins has been a Careers Adviser at the University of Oxford since January 2011. From February â May 2013, she undertook a self-initiated âjob exchangeâ with Career Counselor Anna Carideo at UC Berkeley. The exchange gave her the opportunity to deliver sessions on shared challenges to internal staff and external meetings of Heads of Career Services. Lucy has supported the use of destinations statistics since her arrival, including projects involving classification and coding following outsourced data collection. Lucy will be joining us âvirtuallyâ for a short presentation followed by facilitated Q&A.http://uk.linkedin.com/in/lucyhawkinswww.careerslucy.wordpress.com@CareersLucy

- The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA)Â is the official agency for the collection, analysis and dissemination of quantitative information about higher education.It was set up by agreement between the relevant government departments, the higher education funding councils and the universities and colleges in 1993, following the White Paper âHigher Education: a new frameworkâ, which called for more coherence in HE statistics, and the 1992 Higher and Further Education Acts, which established an integrated higher education system throughout the United Kingdom.A full summary of the DLHE survey is available at http://www.hesa.ac.uk/component/option,com_studrec/task,show_file/Itemid,233/mnl,12018/href,Guidance_for_institutions.html/
- http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ier/research/completed/7yrs2/rp6.pdf â Graduate jobs are defined by Elias and Purcell, Warwick Institute of Employment Research. Many questions over this, as the job title is assigned a âstandard occupational classificationâ (SOC code), and it is the SOC code that is given a âgraduate level or non-graduate levelâ attribute.Oxford released this report to help bolster the case for the humanities, which suffer from much lower salaries 6 months out: http://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/node/336
