Welcome... THE END OF TERM IS ALMOST UPON US, AND WE ARE EDGING CLOSER TO THE SUMMER-BREAK. HOWEVER, THIS IS LIKELY TO BE A BREAK LIKE NO OTHER. WHEREAS THIS TIME HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN USED FOR RELAXATION AND REGENERATION,

OUR

EXPERIENCES

THIS

YEAR

HAVE

RAISED

THE

PROSPECT

OF

USING

IT

FOR

ADDITIONAL

ACTIVITIES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT ACCURATELY HOW INDUSTRY AND HIGHER EDUCATION WILL RESPOND IN THE MONTHS AHEAD. RUMOURS AND SPECULATION ABOUND, BUT I THINK A COUPLE OF KEY TRENDS ARE EMERGING, NAMELY,

IT

IS

LIKELY,

CERTAINLY

IN

THE

SHORT

TERM,

THAT

THERE

WILL

BE

AN

ECONOMIC

BACKLASH

TO

ECONOMIC

INACTIVITY, PERHAPS RESULTING IN RECESSION

TRADITIONALLY, IN TIMES LIKE THIS, COMPANIES MIGHT REDUCE THE NUMBER OF JOB VACANCIES AVAILABLE.

IF THIS HAPPENS, THERE MAY BE A SURGE IN APPLICATIONS FOR UNIVERSITY NEXT YEAR AS STUDENTS TRY TO ‘RIDE OUT’

ECONOMIC

DIFFICULTIES,

AND

SOME

UNIVERSITIES

MAY

FUEL

THIS

TREND

BY

DEMONSTRATING

MORE

FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF THE GRADES THEY WILL ACCEPT. THE BIG QUESTION FOR APPLICANTS MIGHT BE CENTRED AROUND WHETHER THE UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE WILL BE WHAT THEY HOPED FOR, GIVEN THAT BLENDED

LEARNING

(DELIVERY

OF

TEACHING

TO

SOME

EXTENT

VIA

COMPUTER)

MAY

SOME LEVEL OF

BECOME

THE

NORM?

STUDENTS MIGHT ALSO RECOGNISE THAT SOME COURSES MAY BECOME MORE COMPETITIVE TO SECURE A PLACE, PARTICULARLY AS THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS DEFERRING ENTRY MAY GO UP THIS YEAR.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS STATED THAT IT IS STILL KEEN TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF APPRENTICESHIPS, AND TO DEVELOP STRONGER PARITY BETWEEN THIS PROGRESSION ROUTE, AND HIGHER

EDUCATION. WILL THEY INCLUDE

FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO COMPANIES AS PART OF THIS PUSH? PERHAPS, OR PERHAPS NOT (GIVEN THE DOUBTLESS, HIGH POST-COVID RECOVERY BILL). EITHER WAY, COMPANIES MAY RESPOND TO THE GOVERNMENT’S INITIATIVES WITH

AN

INCREASE

IN

REDUCED WAGES THAT

APPRENTICESHIPS

FOR

YOUNG

PEOPLE,

BUT

THIS

COST

MIGHT

FURTHER-EASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON STRUGGLING FIRMS.

BE

ACCOMPANIED

BY

CYNICS MIGHT ARGUE

THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE AN EASY TARGET TO HIT WITH LOW WAGES (THE NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE IS ALREADY SET AT A LOWER RATE FOR THIS GROUP.)

HOWEVER, WITHOUT INTERVENTION TO SUPPORT FINANCIAL STRAINS, I

THINK IT IS POSSIBLE THAT APPRENTICESHIPS WILL GO UP, BUT FOR EXISTING STAFF, AND THIS MIGHT RESULT IN REDUCED OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE,

AND INCREASED COMPETITION FOR THOSE VACANCIES THAT DO

GO LIVE,.

THE COMMON THREAD OF ALL THE ABOVE SCENARIOS IS THAT SUCCESSFUL PROGRESSION IN THE FUTURE, MAY REQUIRE

STUDENTS

TO

SEEK

OUT

ADDITIONAL

ACTIVITIES

THEMSELVES APPEAR MORE COMPETITIVE FOR ADVERTISED EXPLOIT WHAT IS ON

IN

ADDITION

POSTS.

TO

THEIR

QUALIFICATIONS,

TO

MAKE

THE SUMMER-BREAK IS THE IDEAL TIME TO

OFFER VIA THE INTERNET, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL STUDENTS TO MAKE THE MOST OF

THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THINK POSITIVELY, ACT APPROPRIATELY, AND BE INSPIRED TO PURSUE ACTIVITIES THAT WILL STRENGTHEN THEIR CHANCE OF FUTURE SUCCESS. I HOPE THIS E-MAG WILL GIVE YOU SOME INSPIRATION AND IDEAS OF WHAT YOU CAN DO TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS.
