Dear Graham

Welcome to Graduate Market Trends Autumn 2010. This issue includes two exclusive interviews with European Commissioners Androulla Vassiliou and László Andor exploring an integrated European higher education and graduate labour market, and the new “Youth on the Move” initiative. GMT Autumn 2010 also includes brand new Institute of Employment Studies (IES) research on creative graduates, as well as snapshots of the latest Real Prospects 2010 survey and the new Erasmus work placement programme. We also explore the value of humanities degrees. Finally we bring you the latest on Futuretrack - HECSU's fascinating longitudinal survey of students and graduates. I hope you enjoy the read, and please do keep your valuable comments coming in! Aphrodite Papadatou (Editor)
