Editor’s notes

This is the season for What do Graduates Do? and this winter edition is full of labour market analysis and graduate destinations as well as data on postgraduates with What do Masters Graduates Do? The latest findings from the futuretrack study are presented here by Professor Kate Purcell. This edition also includes new research from the University of Leicester exploring the connection between industrial placements and academic results as well as more PROP project outcomes in the shape of Julia Horn writing about differences in careers services approach to careers education.

We plan to make the Summer 2010 issue a themed issue, so if you have a specific topic you would like to suggest or write about, please contact the editor with your ideas.

We are also conducting a survey of GMT readers so please take the time to fill in the GMT reader survey. We want to know what you find useful and what we could do better and it only takes approximately 10 minutes to fill in.

I hope you enjoy this edition
