The Department for Education<\/a> has up to \u00a3125,000 to invest in a series of studies into ways of using data on graduate salary and employment to create digital tools that help prospective students make informed choices.<\/p>\n

Students often make uninformed decisions about what and where to study. The department wants to create a free, accessible and commercially sustainable digital tool for students that uses existing data about graduate employment and salaries.<\/p>\n

Up to 5 studies could be funded in the first phase. The best ideas could share \u00a3300,000 to develop their ideas further in a second phase.<\/p>\n

Proposals must include plans for user discussions or testing to ensure solutions meet students needs, and they must use graduate outcomes data.<\/p>\n

The competition is run under SBRI (the Small Business Research Initiative), which helps the public and private sectors come together to solve challenges facing government.<\/p>\n
