Getting to work: Career skills development for social sciences and humanities graduates

While an undergraduate degree in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) leads to rewarding careers for many, the transition from post-secondary education (PSE) to a career is not always smooth for these graduates. This report examines the career outcomes of SSH undergraduate degree holders, and the opportunities made available by some institutions to ease the transition from PSE to a career. It recommends, in particular, that PSE institutions, governments, employers, and other stakeholders pay closer attention to—and direct resources to address—the career transition challenges facing SSH graduates.
