Data for Decision-Making
Higher education institutions have access to a treasure trove of data on their students and graduates throughout the student lifecycle. This presents an opportunity for institutions to leverage data for purposes beyond regulatory reporting, such as making evidence-based decisions that can improve institution outcomes such as enrolment and employment rates.
In this webinar you’ll learn:
- What data has strategic value, and where to find it
- The benefits of collecting data, and how to use it strategically
- Integrated methods for collecting, using, and accessing data
- To optimize processes between people and technology
Our panel of higher education experts will share practical information and global examples to support institutions that want to improve their use of data in enhancing graduate employability.
