New Research Provides Valuable Insights into Student Perceptions and Expectations

Good training and development, and interesting and challenging work, are what today’s tertiary students want in their future full-time employment. The students also indicate a greater intention to remain in their ‘ideal’ job following graduation than employers are experiencing, according to Graduate Careers Australia’s 2007 University & Beyond survey.

The 2007 University & Beyond survey of over 32,000 university students is the largest survey conducted in Australia on the expectations and perceptions of a student demographic that is of key interest to organisations wishing to attract, recruit and retain their leaders and employees of the future.
