The partnership seeks to set a new benchmark for student conversion, retention, and employability.

Gordon Scott, Managing Director at Successful Graduate said: “What strikes me as unique about the QS | Successful Graduate relationship is our shared value of supporting motivated students to fulfil their potential. At the heart of our relationship is an intense desire to develop the preparation and employability skills of students with client institutions around the world. By working together, our two organisations have an enormous opportunity and responsibility to nurture and enrol well-prepared students into their chosen institution, support their commencement and orientation, and embed our materials across the student lifecycle to develop the employability skills that will complement their studies.”

“Our goal is to prepare these students for the working world by developing their individual employability skills prior to graduation. By focusing on student needs together, QS and Successful Graduate are now able to support universities with improved enrolment and conversion capacity, improved student and employability outcomes” he said.

QS Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Enrolment Solutions, Edward Harcourt is equally thrilled about the partnerships, saying, “we are thrilled about our partnership with Successful Graduate, an innovative skills builder that has received international recognition for its contributions to student success. This strategic collaboration enhances QS’s value proposition for universities by strengthening our enrolment conversion and student retention services. It introduces a portfolio of employability and soft skill micro-credentials for students, that aligns to our core mission—enabling motivated individuals anywhere in the world to fulfill their potential through educational achievement, international mobility, and career development.”
