abstract: 'The explicit linking of institutional funding to in-curricular industry
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
engagement and graduate employment affirms the strategic importance of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enhancing graduate employability in Australia. Key strategies to enhance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
graduate employability and employment outcomes are work-integrated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
learning (WIL) (where students engage with industry as part of their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
formal learning and assessment) and co-curricular activities (e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
volunteering, leadership/award, and mentoring programmes), which are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
facilitated by the university but not embedded into curricula. While WIL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is widely recognised for enhancing different aspects of student
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employability, the impact of co-curricular activities is less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well-known. Further, there is a lack of empirical analysis on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nuanced impact of different forms of WIL and co-curricular activities on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
graduate outcomes. This research sought to explore the impact of a range
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of WIL and co-curricular activities on labour force outcomes among new
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher education graduates. Findings are informed by national survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data for 51,883 domestic graduates of both coursework and research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
degrees in Australia. They point to a strong labour market advantage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from work-based WIL for Bachelor graduates, while undergraduate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation in co-curricular activities appeared to have less effect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on labour force outcomes. However, there were consistent, positive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
results for industry mentoring and leadership/award programmes for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing the chances of securing full-time work and reducing the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likelihood of perceived overqualification among Bachelor and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
postgraduate coursework graduates. Implications for stakeholders and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
practice are discussed, as well as directions for future research.'
