- Whilst previous academic publications have focused on the decoupling of theory and practice, the novelty of this paper is the focus on change and identifying clear opportunities to recouple and reinvigorate the university - industry nexus. Given the introduction of Graduate Apprenticeships (GA) and government-sponsored Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), there is emergent evidence that some HEIs may be at a crossroads regarding their future strategic direction. The outcomes presented in this paper in conjunction with two previous publications strengthened the need for an empirical exploration and substantive evidence of role requirements in academic recruitment practice.
