Here's a report from @NTDCtweets on the collaborative work that they have been doing with us @ukhesa around technical and academic staff.

I've really enjoyed working on this piece with a great group of colleagues from @NTDCtweets. Technicians are a vital part of the HE ecosystem, but they aren't as visible in the data as they could be.

New Post: What do we know about technicians? https://t.co/MkHwIzA3Ej

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

@lmicharlie To be pedantic, it's a SIC question, not a SOC one. We're looking at Section T, Division 98 (undifferentiated goods- and services-producing activities of private households for own use), within which industry a female addicted to housewifery might do a range of occupations.

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

This is very exciting. Congrats, Claire!

@JoJohnsonUK 's proudest contribution to UK HE? "Accidentally giving birth to Boaty McBoatface." No, just kidding, it was HERA 2017. #IHE2023.

When my team @ukhesa looked into the effect of inflation on graduate earnings, we found that graduates in professional roles in the education and health sectors have seen some of the largest falls in real wages. #GraduateOutcomes #CostOfLiving

[HESA UK @ukhesa]

New research illustrates that graduates in professional or managerial roles have seen the largest falls in pay after taking into account the rising cost of living: https://t.co/BtpV1eIp53 #costofliving #GraduateOutcomes

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

Students, when polled, say that they go into HE because they want a fulfilling, rewarding career afterwards, says @nickhillman at today's #IHE2023 conference. Worth revisiting some @ukhesa research on what makes for a high quality job: https://t.co/MCuMK2AS7N

[Anna Mathews @anna_mathews]

A local skills revolution: @CorinCrane describing the HE provider/employer interface in the Coventry and Warwickshire area. Next up @LVanFish on student outcomes and @jimf58a on working with your local council #ihe2023 #HE #LoveHE @Independent_HE

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

@dkernohan said it first: "More fascinating and timely research from [my] team at HESA ". Check out the piece on the @ukhesa website: https://t.co/hbTIK8ZaC4

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

Watch this space for research from me and my team on how graduates have been faring in the current economic climate.

[HESA UK @ukhesa]

How has the recent surge in the #CostOfLiving impacted the spending power of graduates? Find out on Tuesday 28 November in a HESA research insight on real vs. nominal earnings in #GraduateOutcomes.

A friend who gets the earlier bus was so late that she ended up having to walk home from North Cerney, three miles through muddy fields.

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

@Stagecoach_West what is going on with the 51 from Cirencester to Cheltenham this morning? 30 minutes late and counting, with the next bus also listed as late.

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

All of the news is scary, but it's @bmarcj's birthday, and I made him a cake.

[Dr Sally Burtonshaw @SallyBurtonshaw]

In the madness of conference season I missed this - a refreshingly nuanced read on targeting measures for access work from colleagues @ukhesa. Place-based measures do have value, as well as individual markers (e.g. FSM). Always feel like we're missing teacher knowledge here too.

[HESA UK @ukhesa]

New research shows whether or not a student’s parents hold HE qualifications, those from the most deprived neighbourhoods are less likely to be awarded a 1st or 2:1 degree: https://t.co/wRs4pAs778

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

If you are interested in data on careers in HE, you still have time to respond to our consultation on the @ukhesa Staff record (closing 13 October).

[HESA UK @ukhesa]

.@LVanFish writes about our plans to improve our understanding of #HE staff careers with longitudinal data collection. Give us your views in the evidence gathering survey closing Friday 13 October 👇 https://t.co/Cu9EKTRlTu

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

To let us know your thoughts on the data we collect on HE staff, please respond to our consultation, which will remain open until 13 October: https://t.co/y6B2iECwh1

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

I have a new piece on the @ukhesa website this week, considering the importance of longitudinal data for our understanding of higher education staff careers: https://t.co/WiQ9dxZDi9

[Lucy Van Essen-Fishman @LVanFish]

The review of the Staff record is a bit personal for me. Five years ago I was working in HE, on my third fixed-term contract; better longitudinal data can help us understand how many people are in similar situations and where those people go.

Son of Anchises, was
Sent from the wreckage to
Build a new home.
Hounded by Juno, he
Incontrovertibly
Screwed over Dido and
F***ed off to Rome.
