This survey is being run by CRAC, a careers charity, which is undertaking national research for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills on graduates and their careers. CRAC also manages Vitae. The research output will improve the Government’s understanding of the factors that influence the supply of graduates and postgraduate researchers into both higher education and the wider workforce.
