Research title: Analytical strategies for improving Third Sector employability services in the post COVID-19 recovery
Research summary
Research Summary
Mohd’s PhD research focuses on understanding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on applications for unemployment benefits, and how the Third sector could be equipped with analytical tools to improve its employment services using existing and new forms of data. He is working in collaboration with The Salvation Army, a Third Sector organization in the UK, and using data from their Employment Plus scheme. The methods will predominantly be quantitative, including advanced spatial analysis and hypothesis testing. The findings will help advise future policy decisions around employability services and support data-driven decision-making in the Third Sector.
