Science sales recruiters 'should collaborate with universities'
Employers, including those involved in scientific sales recruitment, should work with universities in order to enhance the UK's competitiveness, it has been suggested.
A survey published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, which found that the contribution made by higher education to the economy continued to grow last year, reaching record levels.
In response to the findings, Richard Lambert, director-general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said: "Both sides can benefit - businesses from new thinking and high quality graduates, universities from practical insights that enrich their teaching and research, as well as much needed funding."
He added that there is scope for increased interaction between business and academia and the government must continue to remove any barriers that stand in the way of this occurring.
A lobbying organisation, the CBI aims to help create and sustain the conditions in which UK firms can compete and prosper.
