In high participation systems of higher education, the link between undergraduate study and progression to graduate employment is increasingly tenuous. One response is a growing emphasis on the development of employability skills and preparing students to take advantage of future opportunities as part of university study. This paper uses a Bourdieusian‐based conceptualisation of graduate capitals, combined with a concern for the psycho‐social dimensions of classed experience, to consider transitions through university and into employment for students from working‐class backgrounds in England, drawing on data from a study of students who attended the two universities in Bristol UK. It is argued that the assemblage of capitals that make up graduate capital could be seen as constituting a form of symbolic capital with magical powers, that hides the power relations involved in successful progression to graduate futures. While the move from university into work is more prolonged and precarious for students from all backgrounds, access to the resources that enable the development and mobilisation of graduate capitals, along with psycho‐social dimensions of class, create additional challenges for the development of viable graduate career identities for working‐class students such as those discussed in this paper. The paper concludes by noting implications for policy and practice.

构建未来的毕业生职业生涯：与布迪厄（Bourdieu）合作，了解英格兰工人阶级背景的学生从大学到就业的过渡

在高等教育的高参与度系统中，本科学习与升学与毕业生就业之间的联系越来越脆弱。一种回应是越来越重视可就业性技能的发展，并使学生做好准备以利用未来的机会作为大学学习的一部分。本文使用基于布尔迪厄斯主义的研究生资本概念，并结合对分类经验的心理-社会方面的关注，来考虑英国的工人阶级背景下从大学到就业的过渡在英国布里斯托尔的两所大学就读的学生。有人认为，构成研究生资本的各种资本的组合可以看作是具有魔力的象征性资本的一种形式，掩盖了成功过渡到毕业生未来所涉及的权力关系。从大学到工作的过渡对于来自各个背景的学生来说更加漫长和pre可危，但获得资源以支持发展和动员研究生资本，以及班级的社会心理层面，为发展可行的毕业生带来了额外的挑战工人阶级学生的职业身份，例如本文所讨论的身份。本文最后指出了对政策和实践的影响。再加上班级的社会心理层面，为在职学生的可行的研究生职业身份发展提供了额外的挑战，例如本文所讨论的。本文最后指出了对政策和实践的影响。再加上班级的社会心理层面，为在职学生的可行的研究生职业身份发展提供了额外的挑战，例如本文所讨论的。本文最后指出了对政策和实践的影响。
