However, inconsistent terminology across these fields poses a challenge. This essay focuses on the term ‘school-to-work transition’. In career development and worker employability literature, it often refers to the movement from all stages of schooling into the labour market, while in graduate employability literature it is understood to only refer to the transition from secondary school into the labour market. To illustrate this issue, we use a metaphor comparing grapes to wine. Consequently, we propose ‘education-to-work transition’ as an overarching term, with various subcategories specific to secondary and tertiary education.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2732-3781}, pages = {3-6}, orcid-numbers = {Donald, William E./0000-0002-3670-5374; Healy, Michael/0000-0002-9572-2182} } @article{MTMT:35486045, title = {Generation Z: Increasing Self-Perceived Employability and Well-being through Serious Leisure}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35486045}, author = {Mahayosnand, Ponn P. and Sabra, SM}, doi = {10.52398/gjsd.2024.v4.i3.pp87-92}, journal-iso = {GJSD}, journal = {GILE JOURNAL OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT}, volume = {4}, unique-id = {35486045}, abstract = {Generation Z (Gen Z) is the best-educated, technologically adept, and most racially and ethnically diverse generation entering the workforce today.

One such route is for universities to recruit professionals from non-academic backgrounds to teach and research. The transition of career professionals becoming second-career academics is a growing phenomenon, but one that is under-researched in the literature. This paper summarises the findings in the literature on this topic from the last twenty-five years, drawing on forty-four academic articles. Common themes are discussed and presented in a chronological format from the decision-making process prior to transitioning, through the challenges and opportunities commonly experienced by second-career academics making the transition, concluding with a summary of the recommendations presented in the research. In the discussion section that follows, the author draws on their own experience as a second-career academic to summarise pertinent points and offer an additional perspective on the recommendations offered in the literature. The purpose of this article is to offer a summary of what is currently understood in the literature with a view to supporting further research into the transition of second-career academics as an important skills development issue for the higher education sector. The review finds that several recommendations are common in the literature (mentoring schemes, development of academic skills and agency, introduction of reference materials and cultural change) and the viability of these is discussed before recommendations are made for individuals considering transitioning to a career in academia.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2732-3781}, pages = {64-86}, orcid-numbers = {Fellows, Ian/0000-0002-6754-3160} } @article{MTMT:35486041, title = {Maintaining Skill Development of Newly Qualified Physical Education Teachers: Mentorship After Graduation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35486041}, author = {Evans, Stuart}, doi = {10.52398/gjsd.2024.v4.i3.pp50-63}, journal-iso = {GJSD}, journal = {GILE JOURNAL OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT}, volume = {4}, unique-id = {35486041}, abstract = {High percentages of newly qualified teachers drop out during their first 5 years of teaching in the classroom. Often, formal support systems are put in place to overcome ‘practice shock’. Yet this practice shock is generally associated with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, humanities and science. The often-marginalised subject of physical education can be largely neglected when newly qualified teachers are considered. One strategy to reduce practice shock is that of an established mentoring program. The large volume of literature on mentoring across an array of education subjects suggests that mentoring is a valued skill. However, while mentoring is acknowledged as an essential prerequisite for successful teacher induction, its effectiveness in physical education may vary depending on the mentor’s quality of support and the mentee’s initial professional beliefs. This article draws on a structured analysis of research-based articles on mentoring for newly graduated physical education teachers and explores the discipline between mentee and mentor to make more valid inferences about the roles, responsibilities and outcomes of mentoring. The need for clarity around a physical education teacher’s role as a mentor and associated responsibilities relative to the provision of emotional support and guidance are examined along with suggestions for explicit transmission-oriented mentoring approaches to support beginning teachers’ professional development.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2732-3781}, pages = {50-63} } @article{MTMT:35486039, title = {A Future in the Past: Career Opportunities for Australian History Graduates}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35486039}, author = {Archer, Ben}, doi = {10.52398/gjsd.2024.v4.i3.pp34-49}, journal-iso = {GJSD}, journal = {GILE JOURNAL OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT}, volume = {4}, unique-id = {35486039}, abstract = {Australia's History educators frequently face challenges regarding the value of post-school qualifications in history. Comments from Australian Government ministers have intensified claims that history degrees lack broad skills valued by employers. This study addresses the dearth of research examining the alignment between learning outcomes from history degrees and occupational skills. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on learning outcomes from 27 history degrees offered by Australian universities. These outcomes were mapped against the Australian Government's Skills Classification Core Competencies and Occupation Listings, employing a rigorous curriculum mapping methodology. The results identified 126 occupations that align with the skills and competencies developed through history degrees. This research not only challenges misconceptions about the employability of history graduates but also provides empirical evidence of the broad applicability of historical skills across various sectors. The findings reveal a significant concentration of history graduates in managerial and professional roles, indicating the high value placed on critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills developed by studying history. However, the study also highlights areas for improvement, particularly in digital engagement and numeracy skills. The research demonstrates that history degrees cultivate a range of transferable skills highly sought after in the modern job market, including advanced communication, critical analysis, research proficiency, and adaptability. These skills position history graduates to excel in diverse fields such as public policy, journalism, law, business, and education. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in curriculum design to enhance graduate employability. This research contributes valuable insights for curriculum development and career guidance in history education, demonstrating that history degrees lead to diverse and meaningful employment outcomes. It also provides a robust evidence base for advocating the value of historical studies in an increasingly skills-focused higher education landscape.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2732-3781}, pages = {34-49}, orcid-numbers = {Archer, Ben/0000-0002-3215-5432} } @article{MTMT:35486037, title = {The Inner Leader in Transformative Leadership: Personal Transformation through Trauma Integration and Spiritual Development}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35486037}, author = {Briciu, Bianca}, doi = {10.52398/gjsd.2024.v4.i3.pp20-33}, journal-iso = {GJSD}, journal = {GILE JOURNAL OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT}, volume = {4}, unique-id = {35486037}, abstract = {This article analyzes the role of personal transformation in the context of transformative leadership, focusing on the processes of trauma integration and spiritual development.
