Do places benefit from the talent they help to develop?

Too often regions educate talented people only to lose them elsewhere. Growth strategies should create opportunities that make staying local a viable choice.

Lots of pictures and videos incoming on a very significant day for the @UniofStaffs - the opening of our new £100m Student Village and Hub. I just want to give a shout out to this bloke. I’m sure all Unis think their Chancellor is the best. I know ours is. He’s one of our own. 🤝
