Abstract

In this article, Professor Kate Purcell of Warwick Institute for Employment Research presents some of the key findings from the first stage of the Futuretrack survey, looking at applicants’ clarity of ideas about career plans prior to entering higher education, and how they rate themselves in some of the core skills. The research reveals that applicants had a reasonably clear idea about the occupational direction that they wished to take after completing their courses, although this was related to the subject of their higher education study. The research also finds strong cultural differences in terms of ethnic background in the respondents’ perception of their possession of core skills.
