Each project partner conducted research, statistical and literature based, into new graduates' prospects of finding work after their studies, and then, through SWOT analysis, extricated factors improving or obstructing chances of finding work. The following contributing factors were extracted by Tellus Group. Firstly, the recession has reduced job opportunities, while there have been changes in the job and career patterns. The degree classification and the subject studied also seem to have an effect on graduates' prospects, as do the factors of region and sex. Furthermore, matching employers' requirements on degree content emerged as a significant factor. Finally, UK remedies for beating the effect of the recent recession are offered. (original abstract)
