Thesis (MTech (Graphic Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016. / The aim of this study was to examine how students experience the transition from the classroom to the workplace. This research explored what factors students found problematic and which factors was helpful during the transition. This research was qualitative and this study focused on the experiences of the participants and all data was collected from their perception of work practice. I used Activity Theory as a theoretical framework to compile and organize relevant data. Data was gathered using video recordings, hand written journal entries and individual interviews. The research was conducted in an on-campus design studio that is situated within the Design Faculty at Cape Peninsula University of Technology. The reason for choosing Design Logic as a site is the following; the studio sits neatly between the classroom and the workplace, although the studio is in a protected environment, most of the elements that are present in a real world setup is reflected within Design Logic i.e. the stresses of satisfying demanding clients, working with budgets, liaising with suppliers and the ever present looming deadlines all form part of the daily make-up of Design Logic. Although the starting point of the study was to search for the problem areas of the student’s transition into the work place, the analyzed data revealed the dissimilarities between the two systems and how the participants overcame the difference i.e. shifting identities and rules and norms to develop new skills suited for the work place. The workspace opened a Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and highlighted the value and importance of work practice in preparation of graduates for industry.

This study compares the early employment outcomes of Malaysian graduates who are trained locally versus those who were trained abroad, specifically in universities in the United States and United Kingdom. The study examined the employment outcomes in terms of level of income and job satisfaction. A total of 408 graduates were surveyed for the study. The respondents who were selected randomly nation wide were of similar major of studies. One of the objectives of the study was to find out whether the amount of money spent to train student abroad which can cost up to four times the cost of training students locally is justified. Early research reported that in developing countries, foreign trained graduates were accorded higher income when compared to their counterparts who were trained locally. However, this study indicated that location of study was not significant in explaining the variation of income of graduates. Using regression techniques, the differences in income level was found to be significantly explained by the flowing variables; gender, job, duration, self-esteem, employers' ownership, academic majors and English proficiency. It was also reported that both cohorts of graduates were equally satisfied in their jobs. It was interesting to note that female graduates were also satisfied in theirjobs despite earning less than the males graduates. Job fit index, self-esteem, income, specific self-esteem and satisfaction with university facilities, were found to be significant in explaining the differences in job safisfaction. The study. also compared the attributes and experiences of the two cohorts interms of socio economic and high school background and university and job experiences. It was also reported that there is upward social mobility of graduates as a result of the heavy investment in higher education. The results of the study could be seen as useful, first, to the policy makers in making the right decision in some aspects of investing a large a mount of money in higher education. Secondly, to potential university students in Malaysia, the study will help them to plan their academic careers to suit their future employment opportunities.
