Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly’s Employment and Learning Committee undertook a fact-finding trip to the University of Ulster recently.
It was part of the committee’s ongoing inquiry into careers information, advice, education and guidance.
The UU’s director of employability and marketing, Damian McGivern said: “The University of Ulster is very proud of the innovative and important work our staff are doing with schools and with our students around graduate employability.
“In our service delivery we recognise the central importance of providing all individuals with high quality careers education, information, advice and guidance to enable them to make informed decisions about their future career options.
“We also recognise the increasing key role parents/guardians play in this process and the University is developing a range of initiatives to help them understand better higher education as a career pathway.”
