Former Ucas head Mary Curnock Cook says sector should get serious on careers support
The former head of university applications service Ucas has warned that some institutions still have a dismissive approach to conveying the employability benefits of their courses.
“I’ve always felt the sector has been a little bit glib about the transferable skills that every degree—whatever the subject—holds for employability,” Mary Curnock Cook, now chair of Pearson Education and the Dyson Institute, told a conference hosted by the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services this week.
