Abstract:
Graduates’ education and its alignment with the first job are of key influence on graduates’ careers. It is argued that education–job fit affects work-related learning, which is important for recent graduates to cope with the demands of their new job. The complementing hypothesis argues that work-related learning builds on existing competencies, whilst the substituting hypothesis assumes that work-related learning compensates in case of misalignment. These hypotheses were assessed by identifying latent fit profiles of recent graduates and comparing differences regarding work-related learning.
