Narrative

Recent research carried out by Prof Dora Scholarios and Dr Belgin Okay-Somerville (Stirling University) on graduate career transitions and underemployment has led to several findings with current impact and onging research projects with further potential interest to several beneficiaries. The beneficiaries include job-seeking graduates facing difficulties in the graduate labour market, employers, careers advisors and higher education institutions. The findings of work based on secondary data analysis of UK data have already been reported through several media, including the Economics leader writer of The Guardian in a special issue of G2 for students (September 2013) and the Politics Reporter for BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra Newsbeat (November 2013).
