To what extent do employability interventions within HE, empower students to succeed in a growing and digitally innovative manufacturing sector in Wal

拟议的研究探讨了威尔士高等教育学生的就业技能，特别是研究了它们与数字技能差距和技术失业情景的关系，这是雇主越来越多地使用人工智能（AI）软件和数字技术造成的。具体而言，该研究将解决与威尔士制造业的数字技能短缺和毕业生就业技能相关的问题，为数字经济、工作和就业以及技能形成领域的研究做出贡献。它采用定性方法，重点是与制造业的高等教育学生和雇主进行面谈（目前的目标是食品和饮料部门，因为这是威尔士经济中一个不断扩大的部门）。将遵循以安全和合乎道德的方式对年轻人（18-25岁）进行研究的适当程序，并确保对商业战略方面的公司敏感问题保密（雇主面谈）。单独研究人员和Covid-19问题得到认可和解释。

The proposed research explores higher education students' employability skills in Wales and, in particular, examines them in relationship to digital skills gap and technological unemployment scenarios, resulting from employers' increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) software and digital technologies. Specifically, the research will address questions related to digital skills shortages and graduate employability skills in Wales's manufacturing sector, contributing to research in the fields of digital economy, work and employment and skills formation. It employs qualitative methods, focused on interviews with higher education students and employers within the manufacturing sector (at present targeting the food and beverage sector as an expanding sector of the economy in Wales). Appropriate procedures for conducting research in safe and ethical ways with young people (18-25) will be followed, as well as ensuring confidentiality on corporate sensitivities with regard to business strategy (employer interviews). Lone researcher and Covid-19 issues are recognised and accounted for.
