Abstract

The sudden decline in employment opportunities for new graduates - particularly those who have chosen the media industries as their sector of choice for a career, has been extensively publicised. Inevitably, this has created anxiety, self-doubt and loss of motivation in students. But what are the roles and responsibilities of their tutors in this time of upheaval and poor employment prospects?

Through a series of in-depth interviews, graduates from the BA Journalism course at Harlow College are given a voice in how we should respond. Work experience was clearly identified by graduates as the route towards employment in their chosen career.
