Abstract

Finding professional employment continues to challenge a minority of computing graduates, with graduate unemployment and underemployment being higher than ideal in many jurisdictions worldwide. Exploring the viewpoints of recently appointed Computing Graduates and their Employers is the focus of a UK Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Collaborative Enhancement project, in which seven UK Universities are employing workshops with graduates and employers to explore the idealised learner-earner journey. This poster presents preliminary findings from one university, providing insights into effective current practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. The insights emerging from this study can help inform future sector practice.
