The partnership between education, employers and solution providers is ever more critical and ISE has always been a stabilising community - the place to go for best practice and knowledge - during turbulent times. It is great to join the board, to have the opportunity to support our community find solutions to those challenges over the coming years.

King's expert appointed to the Institute of Student Employers Board
King's Employer Engagement lead joins the prestigious Institute of Student Employers Board of Directors.
King's Associate Director (Employer Engagement & Work-based Learning), Andrew Wright, has assumed a position on the Board of Directors for the Institute of Student Employers (ISE), the UK's largest professional organisation bringing together employers, educators and solutions providers to develop early careers talent and graduate recruitment.
Joining alongside two other new Directors from employers Arcadis and M&G plc., Andrew is one of two education Directors who will help steer and develop the organisation's strategy in the years ahead.
The appointment marks a sector-first achievement, with King’s becoming the first university to simultaneously hold Board Director positions across both major careers‑related professional bodies, ISE and the Graduate Futures Institute, where Senior Associate Director, Dr Aranee Manoharan, continues to serve.
This dual representation reflects the depth and breadth of expertise within King’s Careers & Employability and significantly enhances King’s national influence in employability, talent development, and graduate futures.
