INTRODUCTION

This report elaborates on the destinations of those Griffith University bachelor degree graduates who completed their studies in 1982. It is similar in content to previous years' reports, i.e. it discusses not only the types of positions and studies undertaken by recent graduates, but it also analyses various comments made in relation to such matters as the degrees of satisfaction with current employment/studies, difficulties encountered in obtaining employment, and the extent to which qualifications are considered appropriate to work.

The report also indicates the types of positions obtained by graduates in earlier years. All in all, it is designed to give undergraduates and prospective students an insight into the types of employment and further studies available to Griffith University graduates from the different Schools.

At present, Griffith University has five Schools of study, namely:

Australian Environmental Studies

Humanities

Modern Asian Studies

Science

Social and Industrial Administration

(.B.Sc. )

(B.A.)

(B.A.)

(.B.Sc.)

(B .Admin.)

The above Schools have been abbreviated throughout this report as AES, HUM, MAS, SCI and SIA respectively. All Schools, excepting SIA, commenced their teaching programmes in 1975. The School of SIA commenced its teaching programme in 1980, and this report analyses the destinations of the first group of SIA graduates who completed their studies at the end of 1982.

Destination Survey

The information contained in this report was derived from questionn­aires received from recent Griffith Graduates, who were asked to state their destination as at 30th April. This destination survey is run in conjunction with a national destination survey, co­ordinated by the Graduate Careers Council of Australia (GCCA). A report by the GCCA on the comparative destinations of the 1982 Australian graduates from different study disciplines should become available in the first half of 1984. The response rate for the Griffith University survey of the 1982 graduates was 89%, which compares with an expected overall response for the national destination survey of about 80%.

ANALYSIS OF RESPONSES TO SURVEY

Table 1 classifies graduates of 1982, from each School of study, in six ways:

full-time employment

full-time study

unavailable for full-time employment (or study)

casual or part-time work and not seeking full­time employment

casual or part-time work and seeking full-time employment

unemployed and seeking full-time employment

The table also identifies the response rate of graduates to the survey, and compares the proportion of .1982 graduates in each category with the corresponding proportion of 1981 graduates. Thus it can be seen that an increased proportion of 1982 graduates entered full-time employment (51%), compared with the previous year (45%). By contrast, a reduced proportion of 1982 graduates continued with full-time study (30%), compared with the 1981 graduates (36%). Both of these changes are mainly due to the inclusion of the 1982 SIA graduates in the table. The proportions of 1982 SIA graduates in full-time employment and study (72% and 14% respectively) were substantially different from those of the other four Schools, and consequently had a marked effect on the overall proportions in full-time employment and study.

Table 1 also separates, by School, graduates with ordinary degrees from those with honours level degrees, and from those with the combined bachelor's degree - Diploma of Teaching, offered jointly by Griffith University and Brisbane College of Advanced Education (formerly Mount Gravatt campus, and presently Kelvin Grove campus).

As in previous years, the "Joint-Programme" graduates were successful, virtually without exception, in attaining teaching positions.

INTERPRETATION OF SURVEY RESULTS

Comparison of Male and Female Graduate Destinations

Table 2 provides a comparative analysis of the destinations of the 1982 male and female graduates. It indicates that a smaller proportion of female graduates was in full-time employment (48%) than male graduates (54%). While a higher proportion of females was employed in "Tertiary Education", lower proportions were employed in "Primary and Secondary Schools" and "Private Industry and Commerce" than male graduates.

A higher proportion of females was employed in full-time study (32%) than males (27%). In addition, proportionately more females were "unavailable for full-time employment", and proportionately fewer were "in casual or part-time work and seeking full-time employment" than males.

Full-Time Employment

The employment of Griffith graduates needs to be viewed within the context of a national employment scene - a scene of ever­tightening employment opportunities, and one in which necessity has forced graduates from most disciplines to be very flexible about the types of employment opportunities and locations they are prepared to consider. The situation is compounded somewhat for Queensland graduates, in that many organisations in NSW and Victoria are only prepared to seriously consider graduates within their own Stat~, as a result of the abundant supply of graduates.

While employment opportunities as a whole are very competitive, there are notable exceptions. Teaching, in particular, is capable of absorbing a much greater number of graduates, and in certain areas (e.g. mathematics; sciences) there is a significant under-supply of teachers. The Australian Public Service continues to be a major recruiter of graduates, and while the "Assistant Research Officer" positions are keenly competed for, there is less competitiveness for the "Computer Systems Officer", "Graduate Accountant", and "Graduate Economist" positions, virtually all of which are placed in Canberra.

•

Against this scenario, it can be seen that the 1982 Griffith graduates were generally very successful in obtaining relevant employment. In particular, those graduates who commenced seeking employment well before completing their studies, and those who were flexible, resourceful and determined in their search for employment, were naturally more successful than those displaying a somewhat apathetic attitude in their job search. The lists of jobs obtained by the 1982 (and earlier year) graduates appended to this report provide details of individual positions obtained by graduates from the five Schools.

Many graduates took the trouble to respond in some detail on the relevance of their employment to their qualifications, and individual comments, by School, are included later in this report. The section "Analysis of Responses to Specific Questions in the Survey" deals primarily with graduates' perceptions of any difficulties experienced in finding employment, and related issues.

FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT, BY SECTOR

Table 3 indicates, by School, the numbers of 1982 graduates employed in the various broad sectors. It also compares the proportions of 1982 and 1981 graduates employed in each sector. The table reveals a substantially higher proportion of 1982 graduates employed in the "Australian Government and Authorities" sector, and a substantially lower proportion employed in "Primary and Secondary Schools" than the 1981 graduates.

The proportions employed in "Tertiary Education" (13 %) and by "Non-Profit Organisations" (3 %) were somewhat lower and higher, respectively, than those of the previous year (15% and 1 %).

Full-Time Study

As Table 1 indicates, 30% of the 1982 Griffith graduates continued with further full-time studies upon completing their degree. As stated earlier, this lower figure, compared with the corresponding proportion for the 1981 graduates (36 %) , was due mainly to the inclusion of the 1982 SIA graduates in this report. Only 14% of the 1982 SIA graduates proceeded with further studies, a much lower proportion than any of the other Schools.

Table 4 indicates the range of full-time studies undertaken by the 1982 graduates. The most common types of further studies are seen to be the honours degree, the Diploma of Education; and Diploma in Clinical Biochemistry (offered for the first time b y Griffith University in 1983). The Masters and Ph.D degrees were also popular, although the number undertaking Ph.D studies (5) was considerably less than in the previous year (12). The number undertaking the Diploma of Education (Primary) studies (12) was substantially higher than in the previous year (3). The broad, interdisciplinary nature of the Griffith training would arguably qualify Griffith graduates better for primary teaching than the more specialised type of training offered by "traditional" university degrees.

Many students and graduates continue to remain unaware of the wide variety of postgraduate vocational courses available in Queensland and other States. With this in mind, the Careers and Employment Officer recently produced a booklet titled "A Guide to Postgraduate Studies". This publication summarises the types of postgraduate vocational training courses available in Queensland and some of the more popular or "unique" courses offered by institutions in other States. In addition to this publication, the "Directory of Higher Education Courses in Australia" is a valuable reference which briefly lists all of the undergraduate and postgraduate courses available at Australian tertiary institutions.

Other Studies Undertak en by Previous Years' Graduates

These include the following:

(a) Graduate Diplomas in Accounting, Agriculture, Architecture, Business Administration, Food Technology, Landscape Architecture, Library Science, Recreation Planning, Secretarial Studies, Social Planning, Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and Urban and Regional Planning.

(.b) Bachelor degree studies in Dentistry, Economics, Education,· Export Studies, Optometry, Psychology, Social Work, Television Production and Veterinary Science.

Seeking Employment

As Table 1 indicates, 8% of the 1982 graduates indicated they were unemployed and seeking full-time employment, and a further 5 % were casually or part-time employed and seek ing full-time employment. These figures compare with 8% and 4 % respectively for the previous year's graduates.

Some graduates did have difficulties in finding full-time employment, and the degree of difficulty encountered depended on a variety of factors, including: the area(s) of specialisation, and job opportunities in these areas; flexibility about location and the types of jobs they were prepared to consider; level of academic attainment; previous work experience; persistence and initiative used in seek ing positions; date at which job-seekers commenced their search for employment; and general personality and communication skills.

In the "Analysis of Responses to Specific Questions in the Survey '' later in this report, unemployed graduates state their main reasons for being unable to find full-ti me employment. Tough competition, lack of job opportunities and insufficient experience are cited as the most common reasons. Some graduates indicated they were restricted to Brisbane in their search for employment and a few cited a poor academic record as the main reason for being unable to find appropriate employment. The majority of the unemployed graduates stated that they only seriously commenced their search for employment in January 1983 or later. Some appeared unaware of the need to seriously start seeking employment well before the end of the previous year.

Given that most of the larger recruiters of graduates finalise their recrui tment requirements well before the end of the year, it is not surprising that graduates who delayed their job search until the following year were more likely to still be unemployed in April. The Careers and Employment Officer recognises the importance of encouraging final-year students to apply in sufficient time for the various employment opportunities , and in mid-1983 he sent a comprehensive letter to the home addresses of all final­year students, advising them of important application closing dates, and the main career resources available to them. This direct approach has appeared to foster an increased participation rate by final-year students in the activities of the Careers and Employment Service (Employer Visits Programme, Job Interview Workshops, careers counselling, career seminars, careers library facilities, etc.).

COMMENTS ON APPROPRIATENESS OF QUALIFICATIONS TO WORK

As stated earlier, many graduates took the trouble to respond in some detail on the relevance of their employment to their qualif­ications. Some graduates who were "inappropriately" employed, naturally stated that their qualifications were not appropriate to their work. However, the majority of graduates made very positive comments about the way in which the degree prepared them for employmen.t in either a specialised capacity, or in a more generalised manner, through developing their research, analytical and communication skills.

- 9 -

The following comments, by School, represent the majority of relevant comments made by the 1982 graduates.

AUSTRALIAN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

"My qualifications (i.e. Mathematical Modelling and Statistical Analysis)are directly appropriate to my present position."

Biometrician (State Public Service)

"The job requires multidisciplinary training, as provided by my degree."

Project Officer (Aboriginal Development Commission)

"The honours year (especially statistics) was particularly relevant to my job. The broad, generalist nature of the AES degree is quite useful."

Assistant Research Officer (Federal Public Service)

"My basic statistics got me my position, and the integrated course of AES should prove useful in my career."

Biometrician (State Public Service)

"My degree with its concentration in Environmental Pollution and Health is very appropriate, as I'm working with the company on ecology and emissions control research."

Environmental Project Officer (Mining Company)

"My qualifications are appropriate, in that I am working in the field of environmental analysis."

Project Chemist (Mining Company)

"The job I have now required a degree with a major in mathem­atics."

Graduate Clerk (Semi-Govt. Authority)

"My formal qualifications are not appropriate to my work, but the skills learned during the course (e.g. communication and discipline) are appropriate."

Photography Marketing Representative (Self-employed)

"I am not using my degree in my present job, however, it is helpful."

Cadet Water Adviser (Water Resources Commission)

"My qualifications are not appropriate to my work, but it was by my own choice."

Youth Counsellor (Christian Organisation)

"In my position, I really need my qualifications. When customers explain what they are doing, you are able to understand and work out what can do the job."

Technical Sales Representative (Scientific Supplier)

HUMANITIES

"My qualifications gave me a and therefore adaptability.

grounding in a variety of areas, They are appropriate to my work."

Union Organiser (Union)

"This work certainly doesn't need a degree."

Hostess/Housekeeper (Charter Vessel on Great Barrier Reef)

"After my degree, I found myself working for a shop specialising in book s on science, engineering, computers, etc. Now we've amalgamated with another store which specialises in the areas I'm familiar with."

Sales Clerk (Specialist Bookshop)

"My qualifications are appropriate in some ways, but I feel that any further study would have prepared me enough for my job• II

Clerk-Conference Organiser (Local Council)

"I find the organisation, presentation and communication that is so necessary in my job, has been aided by my qualifications . "

Sales Representative (Manufacturin g Company)

"In my present position, I have to do research. The degree was all about training you to undertake such research, and coming up with the most analytical results."

Electoral Assistant (Member of Parliament)

"My qualifications are not appropriate to my work, which is almost exactly the same as the job I had on leaving high school . in 1970."

Clerk (Federal Public Service )

"I have very little media contact with my work. However, the degree has aided my writing skills."

Clerical Officer (Educational Body)

"I majored in Society and the Media. My job involves producing a fortnightly newspaper and dealing with people. My qualifi­cations are therefore appropriate."

Community Relations Assistant (Heavy Industry Producer)

"My qualifications are appropriate to my work. They provide training in critical analysis."

As·sistant Research Officer (Federal Public Service)

. I

11 -

MODERN ASIAN STUDIES

"My qualifications are appropriate to my employment, and enable me to obtain a teaching position very easily."

Japanese, History and Dip. Teaching graduate employed as secondary teacher (Dept. of Education)

"My qualifications are relevant. The "Australian Politics" and "Economics" subjects are specifically relevant to my job."

Industrial Relations Organiser (Union)

"I have an opportunity to use my Chinese language in a practical sense in the Armed Forces. My qualifications are appropriate."

Officer Cadet (Army)

"In some areas of my present position, such as analysis, written work, resource work, my qualifications are appropriate."

National Organiser (Christian Movement)

"Only two of the courses I undertook have any relevance to my work. These were not main subjects."

Clerk (Federal Govt)

"I now have a very good job, using many of my skills accomplished in my degree."

Sales Assistant (Shop for Japanese tourists)

"My qualifications are appropriate, because they taught me how to think."

Trainee Travel Consultant (Tourist and Travel Corporation)

SCIENCE

"As I am working in Science, there is a general relevance, but I am involved in areas which are new to me"

Tutor (University)

"The qualifications are appropriate but the work is easy and monotonous. I had hoped to find a more ch.allenging career."

Medical Laborat~ry Scientist (Hospital)

"My qualifications are not appropriate to my work, but the general skills I have obtained at University come in handy."

Management Trainee (Bank)

SCIENCE WITH JAPANESE

"My Japanese, while by no means a requirement of employment by a Japanese company, certainly is a help in working with Japanese people and fitting in. Knowledge of Japanese can also be an advantage as far as promotions are concerned in Japanese companies. A familia·ri ty with chemical names and procedures tends to prevent one being "lost" when bombarded with chemical terms. Moreover, with many smaller companies, the purchasing officer is often a technical person, so it helps if one can converse on a technical level fairly fluently."

Chemical Trader (Japanese Trading Company)

12 _

SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ADMINISTRATION

"My qualifications are very much appropriate to my work. The broad base seems suitable for auditing."

Graduate Accountant (Auditor-General's Office)

"I was unable to find employment in my major area of study (e.g. personnel/industrial relations.)"

Tutor (College of Advanced Education)

"The degree covered the areas I need to have a knowledge of in my position."

Shares Dealer (Insurance Company)

"My qualifications are appropriate. The degree contained units on trade which probably got me the job."

Assistant Research Officer (Dept. of Trade)

"I am working in the training area of an Organisation Development Department, and find the course work undertaken in the degree most appropriate."

Training Assistant (Semi-Govt. Authority)

"My accounting concentration was a requirement for entry to my position."

Graduate Accountant (Auditor-General's Office)

"My qualifications are appropriate to my work. My main emphasis of study was on personnel and marketing. The job requires general administration, plus marketing and high level personnel involvement."

Personnel Assistant to Director (Private Hospital)

"The degree covers a broad f i eld of subjects required in my work. My qualifications are appropriate to my work."

Research Assistant (Semi-Govt. Authority)

"I have been employed in my position for the past twelve years. The degree was undertaken to broaden my knowledge and skills in the personnel area."

Deputy Principal (Private School)

"My qualifications are appropriate to my work."

Work Management Analyst (Local Council)

"My degree enabled me to secure my present position, and I am daily using my university skills."

Management Services Officer (Public Service)

RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS

1. Please comment on your experience of the Griffith University Careers and Employment Service, if you used it.

The great majority of respondents had used the Service, the main exceptions being those students who planned to continue with further studies upon graduation, and who consequently did not see a need to draw on the Service's resources.

The main services utilised by respondents at the Careers and Employment Service were: counselling on career prospects; help with application letters, resumes, job interviews and job seeking strategies; the weekly Jobs List produced by the Service; the Employer Visits Programme; participation in Careers Seminars; and the obtaining of part-time/vacation work through the Service.

Of those respondents using the Service, 103 were quit~ positive in their comments on the Service, 3 made negative comments, and a further 7 made certain constructive criticisms, some of which were quite valid and are being acted upon by the Careers and Employment Officei"

2. FOR THOSE SEEKING FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT

(a) How much difficulty have you had in finding full-time employment?

Of the 34 respondents to this question, 29 stated they had much difficulty, and 5 stated they had had some difficulty in finding full-time employment. One respondent who stated he had much difficulty, had only applied for 5 positions since completing his studies. However, most had applied for considerable numbers of positions.

A comparison of figures for the 1982 a n d 1981 graduates reveals a definite worsening of pos i tion for t h e 1982 graduates, with a large number (15) h aving applied for over 50 positions. This worsening position is seen as a reflecti on of the worsening economy. In considering this, it s t ill n eeds to be remembered that most graduates did manage to f ind s u itable employment within month's of completing their studies.

As stated earlier, most large-scale recruiters of graduates finalise their intake requirements well before the end of the year. It is therefore not surprising that the majority (20/37} of those still seeking employment in April, had delayed seriously searching for employment until January or later.

(d) Have any restrictions (e.g. location or types of positions sought) hampered your efforts to find employment?

A number of graduates stated that they were restricted to Brisbane in their search for employment. A few stated that they had been very selective in considering "suitable" positions.

(e) What do you consider to be the main reason(s) for your being unable to find full-time employment?

The most common responses to this question were:

(a) the lack of available positions, and the very tough competition for those jobs that were available,

(b) lack of sufficient practical experience in the area(s ) in which jobs were being sought,

(c) some of the more mature age graduates felt that their age created an additional hurdle, and

(d) as stated in the response to question (d) above, some gradu ates had placed restrictions on the location or types o f jobs they were prepared to consider.

One frustrated respondent stated she appeared to be either too young, too old , too overqualified, too underqualified, or too inexperienced for the available positions!
