Graduate Market Trends : The HECSU journal

Graduate Market Trends (GMT) is HECSU's quarterly journal. It provides high quality information about contemporary debates in higher education, graduate employment and career learning.

Latest edition: Spring 2013

The spring edition of GMT features an interview with Dr Deirdre Hughes, OBE, who is the Chair of the National Careers Council for England. Gill Frigerio introduces the idea of ‘career adaptability’ and its value in relation to the work of higher education (HE) career services. Craig Ineson writes about the Graduate Talent Pool and its aims to match graduates with internships in small to medium enterprises. Charlie Ball does some further analysis of graduate destinations to look at where graduates who did particular occupations were working last year in the UK. Finally, Andrew McCulloch uses publicly available data to look at the proportion of children from lower participation areas going into HE and how that might inform the advances in social mobility.
