Book excerpt: Postgraduate Destinations 2005 reports on the work and study outcomes of recent graduates from postgraduate level courses offered at Australian higher education institutions. Each year, around four months after course completion, the data is collected by means of the Graduate Destination Survey (GDS). This report is based on data provided by Australian citizens and permanent residents who completed the requirements for a postgraduate award in 2004, and responded to the 2005 GDS. Postgraduates are a relatively diverse group so this report tends to focus on three distinct subgroups of awards: postgraduate diplomas and graduate certificates; coursework masters degrees; and research masters degrees and PhD awards. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn with graduates from bachelor degree awards. Overall, postgraduate responses to the 2005 GDS showed modest improvements in labour market outcomes when compared to the same figures for 2004. Despite a greater proportion of postgraduates being available for full-time employment, the proportion seeking full-time work at the time of the survey had decreased, the number in full-time work increased and the overall median salary had increased by $3,100. A total of 110,707 recent graduates of Australian higher education institutions responded to the 2005 Graduate Destination Survey (see Table 1). Of these, around 14 per cent were neither Australian citizens nor permanent residents (this is consistent with previous years). As the focus of this report is on Australian citizens and permanent residents only, overseas graduates have been removed from most analyses, leaving a total of 95,354 respondents. Of these respondents, 182 have been removed from all analyses because of non-response to key questions such as those regarding level of award and field of education, leaving 95,172 cases for examination. Of this group, 27,500 (28.9 per cent) were graduates of a postgraduate award.
Download or read book Culture Capitals and Graduate Futures written by Ciaran Burke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of too many graduates for too few jobs, and in a context where applicants have similar levels of educational capital, what other factors influence graduate career trajectories? Based on the life history interviews of graduates and framed through a Bourdieusian sociological lens, Culture, Capitals and Graduate Futures explores the continuing role that social class as well as cultural and social capitals have on both the aspirations and expectations towards, and the trajectories within, the graduate labour market. Framed within the current context of increasing levels of university graduates and the falling numbers of graduate positions available in the UK labour market, this book provides a critical examination of the supposedly linear and meritocratic relationship between higher education and graduate employment proposed by official discourses from government at both local and national levels. Through a critical engagement with the empirical findings, Culture, Capitals and Graduate Futures asks important questions for the effective continuation of the widening participation agenda. This timely book will be of interest to higher education professionals working within widening participation policy and higher education policy.
Download or read book The Zuma Years written by Richard Calland and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The face of power in South Africa is rapidly changing – for better and for worse. The years since Thabo Mbeki was swept aside by Jacob Zuma’s ‘coalition of the wounded’ have been especially tumultuous, with the rise and fall of populist politicians such as Julius Malema, the terrible events at Marikana, and the embarrassing Guptagate scandal. What lies behind these developments? How does the Zuma presidency exercise its power? Who makes our foreign policy? What goes on in cabinet meetings? What is the state of play in the Alliance – is the SACP really more powerful than before? And, as the landscape shifts, what are the opposition’s prospects? In The Zuma Years, Richard Calland attempts to answer these questions, and more, by holding up a mirror to the new establishment; by exploring how people such as Malema, Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng and DA parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko have risen so fast; by examining key drivers of transformation in South Africa, such as the professions and the universities; and by training a spotlight on the toxic mix of money and politics. The Zuma Years is a fly-on-the-wall, insider’s approach to the people who control the power that affects us all. It takes you along the corridors of government and corporate power, mixing solid research with vivid anecdote and interviews with key players. The result is an accessible yet authoritative account of who runs South Africa, and how, today.

Download or read book Higher Education Pathways written by Ashwin, Paul and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what ways does access to undergraduate education have a transformative impact on people and societies? What conditions are required for this impact to occur? What are the pathways from an undergraduate education to the public good, including inclusive economic development? These questions have particular resonance in the South African higher education context, which is attempting to tackle the challenges of widening access and improving completion rates in in a system in which the segregations of the apartheid years are still apparent. Higher education is recognised in core legislation as having a distinctive and crucial role in building post-apartheid society. Undergraduate education is seen as central to addressing skills shortages in South Africa. It is also seen to yield significant social returns, including a consistent positive impact on societal institutions and the development of a range of capabilities that have public, as well as private, benefits. This book offers comprehensive contemporary evidence that allows for a fresh engagement with these pressing issues.

Download or read book Flexible Organizations and the New Working Life written by Helge Ramsdal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are we actually talking about when we talk of flexibility in organizational settings? Do flexible forms of organization lead to varied, challenging and autonomous work or do they have a negative impact on working conditions? These questions are confronted by a group of specialist authors including Stephen Ackroyd, Harriet Bradley, Jan Ch. Karlsson, Philippe Mossé and Michael Rose, who discuss the concept of flexibility in relation to employment practices, organizational structure, cultural peculiarities and network arrangements in France, Italy, Norway, Sweden and the UK. While the question of workplace flexibility has been much debated in recent years, the main issues discussed have been the practice of non-standard forms of employment such as part-time work. This book is distinctive in dealing with flexibility related to organizational arrangements, organizational culture and network arrangements, and in assessing the combined effects of different arrangements in terms of manpower, structure, culture and networks on flexibility.

Download or read book Graduate Employability Across Contexts written by Tran Le Huu Nghia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores stakeholders’ perspectives, their practices, and engagement with enacting the employability agenda in the context of a rapidly changing world. It explains the need for developing graduate employability under socioeconomic, cultural, and political pressure exposed to the higher education sector. Largely framed within Bourdieu’s concepts of social field, habitus, and capital, it explores international stakeholders’ perspectives and experiences with graduate employability agenda in different contexts, which serves as a point of reference for the adoption of such initiatives. Based on empirical evidence, the authors develop a new graduate employability framework seeing it as a lifelong process, denote the relationships between types of employability capital, and shed light on the consequences of different strategies to translate employability capital to employment and career outcomes. Overall, this book generates both theoretical and practical insights which help to advance employability programs, better prepare the future workforce, and anticipate turbulence in the labour markets.
