Traditionally, one role of Higher Education has been to supply the labour market with appropriately educated and skilled graduates. However, the market has become increasingly competitive and there are concerns that the growing number of highly qualified graduates is not met by an increased demand for these skill levels. Consequently, there is a growing need for students to become aware of relevant labour market developments and take ownership of their future career. The book outlines one study investigating the extent to which undergraduate students are aware of the skills sought by graduate employers and use the available career service facilities. The research also addresses whether career planning and awareness are influenced by the year of study or the type of degree (generalised or specialised). The work helps to determine whether students prepared for the graduate labour market. The book is of particular relevance to those with an interest in career planning and employability.
