N2 - This report examines recent graduate and employer perceptions regarding support for the learner-earner journey, with a particular focus on skills gaps. It was a collaborative project between the computing departments in seven UK universities. It reports on workshops with students, graduates, and employers to gather insights. The document details the methodologies employed, including a "Futurespective" approach to visualising an idealised version of the learner-earner journey and a skills gap analysis based on SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age) behavioural factors and skills profiles. Furthermore, it presents case studies of successful university practices designed to enhance graduate employability. The report concludes by offering six recommendations regarding potential next steps to bridge the identified skill gaps and better prepare students for the professional world
