DESTINATIONS OF POSTGRADUATES IN THE UK
A report on the Evaluation of Information Sources
Options in Careers Education
The use of information on postgraduate destinations adds credibility to careers
education for postgraduates. Depending on the resources available to the Careers
Service, it can play a useful role in any setting from a simple introductory to a fullscale, accredited module.
1. Introduction to the Careers Service
Reference to destinations data held in the information room shows that the
Careers service has identified postgraduates as a distinct client group and caters for
their needs. Data for specific courses within the institution further reinforces that
message and demonstrates that careers advisers know what happens to graduates after
these courses.
2. Frequently asked questions
This technique can be used either on a website or as a quiz or inter-active opening
section of a seminar. It establishes the credibility of the Careers Service as a source of
valuable information which is directly relevant to postgraduates.
3. Workbook
A workbook can cover skills identification and self-presentation exercises, giving
examples relevant to the experience of postgraduates. It can also include answers to
frequently asked questions, including destinations of postgraduates, with cameo case
studies of academic and non-academic careers postgraduates.
4. Inter-active website
Most of the elements outlined above could be presented in an appropriate format in
an inter-active website, giving information and encouraging participation in building
up a skills profile based on activities common to postgraduates. This has the
advantage of being available to postgraduates at any time of their choice in a medium
which most of them use on a regular basis.
5. Where Do Postgraduates Go
Instead of receiving information in a talk, postgraduates can be encouraged to
research it for themselves by being given folders with data and a checklist of
questions. After time to read and digest the information, small groups can make
presentations on what they have learned, thus providing wide coverage of the labour
market for postgraduates. This method is highly effective, but involves the course
tutor in a good deal of preparatory work which has to be updated at least annually.
is circulated to academic colleagues, university administrators and senior
management. It is also available on open access in our Information Room
for
student access.
