摘要：At the start of the 2003–2004 academic year, students entering the Chester Geography Department completed a questionnaire which explored their attitudes towards the strength and nature of the links between employability and participation in Higher Education, the timing of personal career planning and the purpose, value and chronology of careers guidance. Themes raised from responses to this survey were then examined in more detail via semi-structured interviews with a smaller sample of students. This short paper summarises the results of this research. Although the findings focus on a specific cohort of students, many of the results are likely to be common to other HE institutions and therefore have implications for GEES tutors devising strategies for working on employability and career planning themes with their students.
