Tóm tắt
Last year,1 thought that I had discovered a new phenomenon in Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs) enrollment: university graduates who had enrolled in CAATs programs which they perceived would give them better access to employment. In my research, I discovered that reverse transfer phenomenon was not a new problem and that there were numerous publications-albeit rather obscure-on the topic. The most critical lack is of data adequately describing the extent and direction of the phenomenon. Anecdotal responses to enquiries made by the author on several computer listservers dealing with occupational training have indicated that this phenomenon is a world wide trend, rather than uniquely Ontario, or Canadian, and yet remains not very well documented. In fact, most of the existing studies have been undertaken in the United States, with only a few studies in Canada and virtually none elsewhere Reverse transfers are (often unemployed) university graduates (largely in liberal arts) who enroll in community college programs which they perceive as leading to employment. Bethune (1977, p. 36) defined reverse transfers as baccalaureate graduates who now desire to learn a specific trade. She noted that in many cases they are returning because they simply cannot find a job with their undergraduate degrees and that almost all of the students in the re tooling process have their undergraduate degrees in the liberal arts. Morrill indicated that at the 1998 American Vocational Association conference some participants called this phenomenon reverse graduate school. The implications for the planning of post secondary programs suggest that better data describing the reverse transfer phenomenon would facilitate more accurate planning. © 2009 Springer Netherlands.
