Matthew Aldrich

An applied labour market economist, my research has examined the value of degrees and the role of soft skills, to fatherhood and the role of family friendly policies in promoting gender equality, and intersectional equalities in driving lack of access to government support. With a strong interest in Graduate Outcomes and student employability, I am currently Associate Pro Vice Chancellor for Employability and Opportunities at UEA, with strategic oversight of our institutional strategy for employability, with a focus on teaching and learning and the wider student experience, Welcome Week and building learner communities, and placement activity.
