WQ.116/2020

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY C.S. ALVES OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 9th MARCH 2020

Question

What tracking, if any, is there of students undertaking degree-level or specialist education, both in the Island and off-Island; and if students are tracked, are they contacted by the Government following completion of their courses in order to be informed of possible career opportunities in the Island or of further post-graduate courses that would benefit Jersey?

Answer

Skills Jersey have e-mail addresses for all undergraduates and recent graduates and they use these to get in contact with students with specific subject or more general opportunities.

Once a graduate no longer has the e-mail address that they used at university, Skills Jersey cannot keep in touch with them. Graduates would need to give permission and new contact details to keep in touch, much along the same lines as we have for undergraduates.

The post-16 strategy is considering how graduates can be attracted back to the island, and part of this could be some form of annual return from all registered students for a period of time.
