Creative Graduates Creative Futures
This is the largest ever survey of creative graduates’ career paths. Led by the University of the Arts London and conducted by the Institute of Employment Studies (IES), the study offers an alternative career model for the 21st century workforce.
Between September and December 2008, more than 3,500 graduates from UK courses in art, design, craft and media responded to a survey about their working lives up to six years after qualifying from their first degrees.
The study:
• explores graduates' experiences of higher education, their activities since graduating, the work they are currently engaged in, and their plans for the future;
• reports the experiences, activities and contribution of creative graduates and their plans for the future;
• sets the findings in context, providing expert commentaries from writers and researchers within the sector, and compares the position of creative graduates today with that of ten years ago, as evidenced by the Destinations and Reflections report of 1999.
A second stage of qualitative research was conducted in September 2009 examining graduates’ career paths in more depth and their experiences of work in the recession. These results will be published in spring 2010.
