Understanding labour markets with Andrew Wright

<p>We talk to Andrew Wright, Head of Employer Engagement, in the Careers &amp; Employability team at King's College London. &nbsp;We're hearing a lot about recession and unemployment in the news everyday. &nbsp;This can be disheartening for anyone who is job hunting. &nbsp;We ask Andrew for his perspective on current labour markets which interest researchers from academia through to the creative industries. &nbsp;Andrew encourages us to look beyond the headlines and understand what's going on in different sectors in a more nuanced way.</p> <p>Here are the resources which Andrew refers to in the podcast:</p> <ul> <li>Virtual work experience: <a href="https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/mod/page/view.php?id=3322146">https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/mod/page/view.php?id=3322146</a></li> <li>Self employment and freelancing (with link to IPSE membership for King's PhDs): <a href="https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/mod/page/view.php?id=3221799">https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/mod/page/view.php?id=3221799</a></li> <li>Charlie Ball's blog on labour markets: <a href="https://highpeakdata.wordpress.com/author/highpeakcharlie/">https://highpeakdata.wordpress.com/author/highpeakcharlie/</a>. &nbsp;You can also find his updates and other helpful articles here: <a href="https://luminate.prospects.ac.uk/">https://luminate.prospects.ac.uk/</a></li> <li>EMSI: <a href="https://www.economicmodeling.com/">https://www.economicmodeling.com/</a></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>[This episode was recorded in August 2020]</p> <p><br></p>
