Creative graduate pathways within and beyond the creative industries

Examining how higher education programs create pathways from creative education to work, this book explores the launch experiences, destinations, and contributions of graduates emerging into the creative workforce. Coming from university programs that focus on developing specialist creative disciplinary skills, graduates emerge into this diverse workforce with fairly narrow career identities. With contributions ranging from quantitative analyses of large longitudinal data sets to in-depth qualitative cases, the book aims to provide a range of studies that show the complexity found in creative careers. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Education and Work.
