This issue is all about graduate work experience. We will explore its significance in honing graduate soft skills and improving employability, both from an employer’s and from a student’s perspective.
As you will already know, the subject matter in question is quite pressing - especially in the context of the increasing globalisation of the higher education sector and graduate labour market and the growing foci of UK and EU employability agendas in linking higher education and business through 'lifelong learning'. These issues are reflected in the articles.
The present edition has an international flavour: We have included a special 'Australian' section, in which colleagues from down-under enlighten us in 'work integrated learning' (WIL) and other practices.
