  1. Involving stakeholders, why? Stakeholders are defined as `any group or individual who is affected by or can, affect the achievement of the HEIs objectives´ To help ensure that graduates have the right skills for the labour market and to reduce skills mismatches QA can be used to demonstrate that study programmes meet labour market needs QA can also support HEIs to feed knowledge about graduate career paths into the design and delivery of programmes w w w n e t u n i n l

  2. Involving market stakeholders Two dimensions • Stakeholders participate in external quality assurance • Students enter the market with the right tools (skills and knowledge and labour market needs) w w w n e t u n i n l

  3. Typical stakeholders • Market employers • Government • Government agencies • Civil society (like trade unions) • Educational sector • Service providers • Consumers • Alumni • Family • Students • Academic staff • Any? w w w n e t u n i n l

  4. How How do you involve stakeholders into the quality assurance process? Many countries have a formal requirement that employers should participate in external quality assurance (BE, BG, CZ, DE, DK, EE, EL, FR, IT, LT, LV, PT, UK) In some countries external stakeholders are included in university committees or boards of trustees. In other countries decision-making bodies consist solely of academics and students. External stakeholders are explicitly excluded, due to historical reasons of asserting institutional autonomy of the higher education institutions. w w w n e t u n i n l

  5. How - continued Outside stakeholders are more likely to be involved at an information-sharing level rather than as active partners in the institution’s own internal QA. Irrespective of regulations, employers are included in institutional processes related to quality assurance in the sense that they are consulted in curriculum design on an ad-hoc basis. Besides, representatives from companies teach at universities in applied disciplines, supervise student theses as well as accommodate student internships. How about your institution? w w w n e t u n i n l

  6. Involving the Employment Market Effective stakeholder management starts with stakeholder identification The key issue is to identify and analyse the different people or groups (i.e., the “stakeholders”) that would be potentially be affected by the outcomes of the HEIs activities. Classify the stakeholders as either primary (ones without whose continuing participation and support an organisation cannot survive) or secondary (important, but not essential) w w w n e t u n i n l

  7. Mapping stakeholders Analyse the positions and views of the stakeholders and thus to construct a map of their relative importance. w w w n e t u n i n l
