Student Employability and Academic Success Review

The SEAS Transformation Project’s purpose is to undertake a review of the current operating model, ways of working, current service offerings and resourcing to create a more joined up and efficient service which will deliver efficiencies through new ways of working.

  • Organisation review of all functions and staffing within SEAS areas
  • Review of how SEAS links with key stakeholders including Colleges, IIB and Global Advancement in respect of employability and placements, as well as each of the individual colleges
  • Implementation of a new Operating Model to create a more joined up and efficient service whilst delivering efficiencies

The Transformation is sponsored by Ian Blenkharn, Director of Education and Student Support with the support of a Steering Group who are responsible for monitoring the progress of change within SEAS and resolving issues that may compromise delivery and benefits realisation.
