Delivering the Promise: The Transition from Higher Education to Work.
Graham, Colin; McKenzie, Alasdair
Education and Training, v37 n1 p4-11 1995
Qualitative research in 15 British public and private organizations highlighted key issues in entry workers' transition from college to work: (1) culture change/shock; (2) how education prepares graduates for work; (3) employee and employer expectations; and (4) levels of commitment and satisfaction. The first few days/months on the job are critically important. (SK)
