Higher Education and Graduate Employability

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Located within the changing relationship between
higher education and the labour market in the UK,
this book examines the concept of graduate
employability. Drawing upon a qualitative study
based on in-depth interviews with over seventy
students and academics in higher education, it
details higher education students perceptions of
the labour market, the management of
their employability, and their orientations and
attitudes to future work and careers. The book
highlights the growing challenges felt by
both students and academics around employability in
light of widespread changes in higher education and
the labour market. It illustrates that the
transition from university to work involves an
active process for students: employability is an
organising principle in the way students understand
future career progression and manage their
employment expectations. It further considers some
of the implications this has for policies on higher
education and the labour market in the UK context.
