Are some graduates going on to do non-graduate jobs? Evidence collected from interviews with universities careers services shows many have in fact seen an improvement in graduate employment -- specifically, in more graduates entering 'high skilled professions' and unemployment rates going down. Many universities have implemented a mandatory work experience element across courses, whether that be a placement year or a partnership project with local employers. As a result, graduates meet the demands of employers, who identify work experience as key to deciding the recruitment of an individual. These case studies outline approaches universities have used to improve graduate employment, including student preparation and employer engagement. They also include advice they would give to other providers and suggestions to the UK Government and employers.
