Development of non-academic skills at university : what impact(s) on the employability of master's graduates?
2022
The job market has gone through changes requiring companies to adapt to internationalization as well as to the rise of new technologies and the place of digital. Recruiters expect their future employees to be able to evolve at the rate of these changes. The professional integration of young graduates is therefore conditioned by new criteria, including the acquisition of so-called non-academic skills. These non-academic skills refer to a set of skills that are closer to soft skills and less to theoretical knowledge. They depend on the ability of individuals to manage their emotions and react to others and are not specific to a discipline or a job. Based on a sample of 852 university master's…
Higher education graduates' employment and the uncertainty of working life.
2012
The aim of this chapter is to examine how the uncertainty and instability of working life is reflected in Finnish polytechnic graduates’ employment. The present study investigates the fields of business and engineering by comparing two graduate cohorts. The societal context in which new graduates enter working life is that of an increasing precariousness in the labour market, which affects higher education graduates as well as the general population. Nowadays, a higher education qualification is not necessarily a guaranteed path to a high income and high social status as it used to be. Insecurity and uncertainty in society and working life can be considered as general features of late moder…
Graduate employability in transitional economy
2008
08012 - 23 p.; This paper addresses higher education graduates' employability in Russia. We seek to find out what demands are placed on graduates by the modern labour market in Russia, in order to know how higher education should perform to prepare the employable professional. The transition from the communist economy to a labour market one generated important transformations on graduate labour market. A quasi-total abolition of the public regulating mechanisms in study to work transition, changes in social values and considerable mismatches between education and occupations bring about more demands for flexible workers. Under these circumstances, those graduates who acquired during their s…
Regional mobility of the French post secondary graduate students entering the labour market
2008
With the innovations of the national statistical system, the study of the geographical mobility during the transition between school and employment is now possible. This article presents the various regional migratory situations at the end of the Nineties, and the main transformations that has occurred during the last fifteen years. Knowing better the labour migration patterns of new graduates allows us to characterize the various relations that exist between academic background and employment at the regional scale. It appears that there is not an obvious relation between the quality of the transition from school to the labour market and the various regional migratory situations.
Migracje absolwentów szkół wyższych a kształtowanie się kapitału ludzkiego w województwie opolskim
2019
Województwo opolskie to region silnie zdeterminowany demograficznie szczególnie procesami migracyjnymi o różnorodnych implikacjach społecznych i ekonomicznych. Intensywne migracje obok dywersyfikacji etnicznej ludności składają się na specyfikę regionu i powodują, że problemy związane z ruchem wędrówkowym nabierają istotnego znaczenia w kontekście jego dalszego rozwoju. Kapitał ludzki zarówno w wymiarze ilościowym, jak i jakościowym stanowi kluczowy endogeniczny czynnik rozwoju każdego obszaru decydujący o jego potencjale rozwojowym, dlatego też stały odpływ dobrze wykwalifikowanej kadry – absolwentów szkół wyższych za granicę, który obserwujemy nie tylko w regionie, ale również w całym kra…
Developing Peer Corrective Skills in Business Letter Writing in English as a Foreign Language
2019
Peer corrective feedback (PCF) implementation is a topical issue in writing skills development at tertiary level. Those researchers who explore the application of PCF in higher education (e.g. Liu and Sadler, 2003; Hyland, K. and Hyland, F., 2006) admit that students face difficulties in providing qualitative feedback that determines the effectiveness of this teaching tool. Therefore, the goal of this paper was to investigate what actions could be taken in order to develop students’ PCF skills and, consequently, foster the quality of PCF. The primary research method was a case study in which the participants were 24 second-year undergraduates majoring in English as a Foreign Language (EFL…

Les formations professionnelles de l'enseignement supérieur en France au prisme de l'insertion et de la mobilité sociale des diplômés
2014
La professionnalisation des formations dans l'enseignement supérieur en France s'est développée ces dernières décennies avec pour objectif d'améliorer l'employabilité des jeunes diplômés dans un contexte de dégradation de leurs conditions d'insertion. À partir des trois dernières enquêtes Génération du Céreq, ce travail questionne la performance de ces filières professionnelles par rapport aux filières plus académiques de l'enseignement supérieur, en période de crise économique. Certaines formations, comme par exemple les licences professionnelles, garantissent toujours de bonnes conditions d'insertion, pour autant les effets concernant la mobilité sociale en début de carrière, sont plus nu…
Does Physical Activity Matter for the Mental Health of University Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic?
2020
Research indicates that university and college students are at higher risk of experiencing mental health problems than other populations. This study aims to examine the relationship between Physical Activity (PA) and the mental health of Ukrainian university students during the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic lockdown. The conventional sample consisted of 1512 students from 11 Ukrainian universities, with a mean age of 20 years (M = 20.06, SD = 3.05) and 69% of whom were female. The cross-sectional online survey was disseminated through the most popular social media channels in Ukraine (i.e., Facebook, Viber, Telegram) and included the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scal…
MIGRATION OF THE HIGHLY EDUCATED: EVIDENCE FROM RESIDENCE SPELLS OF UNIVERSITY GRADUATES*
2011
We examine the inter-regional migration of university graduates from 1991 to 2003 in Finland. The results show that time matters: two-years before and during the graduation year the hazard rates of migration increase, and then decrease thereafter. Although university graduates are particularly mobile, we find that most of them do not move from their region of studies within 10 years after graduation. The out-migration, i.e., brain drain, is much higher among graduates in the more peripheral universities than in the growth centers (Helsinki in particular). Migration is also substantially more likely for those studying away from the home region than for those studying at home. peerReviewed
