The Skills Utilisation project is a two-part comparative study of employment outcomes, job satisfaction and utilisation of skills in the workplace for TAFE and university graduates. The original 1996 study analysed responses from 825 science, engineering and business graduates from metropolitan and rural universities and TAFE Institutes in Victoria. The focus of the initial study was the way in which graduates use their training and how this varies according to whether they studied at university or TAFE. The present study addresses two broad issues that emerged from the original work: (i) the proportion of graduates working out of the field of training; and (ii) the employer perspectives on the skills needed by graduates. Over 600 graduates were re-interviewed for this follow-up study and results include: (i) in the three years since graduation, levels of employment for graduates have increased; (ii) TAFE graduates are more likely to accept part-time work than university graduates; (iii) graduate employment outside of field of training remains high; (iv) graduates employed out-of-field are more likely to hold negative views of their jobs; and (v) graduates, when suggesting course improvements, emphasised the need for increased industry input and more opportunities for work placement.
