dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the employment and further education outcomes of students studying criminology who
participate in professional skills development and work-integrated learning courses at a major Australian
university. Three years of data were obtained from the Australian Graduate Survey, which is completed by
university graduates four months after they complete their tertiary studies. The results indicate that students
enrolled in a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice who complete a career and professional development
course in conjunction with a work-integrated learning course are approximately twice as likely to be engaged in
industry relevant employment or further study four months after graduation. They also are more likely to use a
wider range of search techniques to find employment. This suggests that it is possible to improve employment
outcomes for students by providing a university-based course that focuses on employability and professional
behaviors in conjunction with work-integrated learning programs. | |
