The role of higher education in supporting graduates’ early labour market careers

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore perceptions by higher education (HE) senior
professors and managers of their role in preparing graduates for entry to the labour market.
By providing a theoretical and empirical overview of the functional role of HE institutions in preparing
graduates for work, the paper designs an own research framework for future developments in
this area.
Design/methodology/approach – The conclusions in the paper are based on a literature review and
approximately 240 semi-structured interviews with HE professors and managers from six European
countries and from six different study fields. The results are broadly compared with an international
survey of graduates from 20, mainly European, countries.
Findings – The senior HE professors and managers see their own role in supporting graduates’
careers in a surprisingly intuitive way. There are some important differences and similarities among
the study fields, although they are generally not motivated to apply an evidence-based approach to
study and programme developments.
Originality/value – This paper is based on the results of a three-year survey of the European
research network, and two international conferences comprising more than 100 contributions from
over 30, mainly European, countries.
