The employment and career patterns of geography graduates are analysed using ‘first destination’ and questionnaire survey statistics. Most geography graduates find employment as administrators, managers and professionals in the service industries. Further education and training, and several changes of job, normally characterise the early years of post‐graduate employment. Sandwich training enhances the prospects of obtaining early employment on graduation. In equipping students for work, a need exists for greater training in personal, social and transferable skills
