AB  - The labour market experience of graduates and diplomates is a
subject currently being explored in the United Kingdom. Reports on the
findings of a study undertaken in Northern Ireland with special
reference to the hospitality industry. Examines graduate and diplomate
opinions on the preparatory value of hospitality management courses and
their perception of job quality. Found that graduates in particular feel
overqualified because of a lack of opportunity to implement their
knowledge and skills acquired and developed in higher education. Part of
the problem appears to lie with the conflicting expectations of
graduates and employers in the hospitality industry and argues that this
could be overcome by forging greater links between the educators and
employers. As one of the major challenges of the 1990s is the recruiting
and retaining of graduates, hospitality employers must offer training
which builds on the foundation laid in higher education.
