Lee Harvey, Sue Moon and Vicki Geall with Ray Bower

Graduates’ Work was commissioned by, amongst others, the Department for Education and Employment, the Council for Industry and Higher Education and the Association of Graduate Recruiters. The results contributed the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education (NCIHE) chaired by Sir Ron Dearing. The survey is based on 258 interviews with managers, graduates and non-graduate employees. The organisations varied in size, type and location, ranging from large multi-nationals through to small organisations in the manufacturing and service sectors, both private and public.
