Employers in Greater Manchester have met at a workshop in order to discuss tactics on how to stop the graduate talent pool in the city from disappearing elsewhere. Hosted on June 10th by Midas and the Commission for the New Economy, the 'city region pilot' workshop found that graduates also tend to group together in the south of the city, according to the Manchester Evening News. Topics discussed included encouraging graduates to stay in the area, providing more education about international trade and allowingfunding to help budding entrepreneurs set up in the city. Colin Sinclair, chief executive of Midas, said: "The pilot provides Manchester with a huge opportunity to shape our shared destiny and will allow Manchester the flexibility to act responsively to local and city regional needs. This event has provided a good insight into our skills and graduate needs." A recent scheme subsidised by the Manchester Innovation Investment Fund aimed to keep graduates of the city's universities by offering PR work experience and a salary to ten successful candidates.
