Abstract

This study explored the career beginnings of a cohort of generation Y public health graduates. It addressed a gap in knowledge about the health workforce and a shortcoming of past approaches to workforce planning and development that have focused on a narrow range of health professions and the 'production pipeline'. The research provided a rich, contextualised account of the graduates' experiences, and reinforced the importance of the nexus between academia and industry, of open minds and communication to workforce planning and development, and the need to eschew ideas of 'generation' as a problem.
