“…The UCAs and GRs can initially work through the state progress checklist independently of one another to frame their respective notions of success, desired outcomes, and associated metrics for their programs (Buckholtz, 2011b). Once this phase is completed, the UCAs and GRs can work collaboratively to connect their endeavour elements and themes.…”

“…Both parties want to produce employable graduates capable of signalling their employability to secure graduate employment (Tomlinson & Anderson, 2021). Documentation can also help by providing an audit trail of the interactions that underpin decisions and metrics to offer continuity despite turnover in personnel (Buckholtz, 1996;2011b).…”

confidence: 99%

“…Themes I-VI can help UCAs and GRs to understand the existing context of their relationship and identify opportunities to act and strive for innovative and sustainable outcomes (Buckholtz, 2011a). Short-term, medium-term, and long-term plans should be documented, underpinned by a clear rationale, and accompanied by metrics for determining success (Buckholtz, 1996;2011b). These documents should be re-visited and updated regularly, perhaps after each academic year and recruitment cycle.…”

Section: Theme Vi: Plansmentioning

confidence: 99%

“…The theme of actions addresses implementing the plans identified in theme VI (Buckholtz, 2011a). The UCAs and GRs each take ownership of their respective parts of the plans whilst monitoring progress and sharing updates with the other party (Buckholtz, 2011b). This step allows practical and proactive action to facilitate UCAs and GRs to achieve their individual and collaborative goals.…”

The purpose of our paper is to apply the state progress checklist from direct outcomes theory to a new domain of the university-to-work transition to mediate a dyadic win-win relationship between university careers advisors and graduate recruiters. The state progress checklist incorporates three endeavour elements - (i) potential, (ii) agendas, and (iii) effects; and nine themes - (i) resources, (ii) motivations, (iii) interactions, (iv) assumptions, (v) scenarios, (vi) plans, (vii) actions, (viii) outcomes, and (ix) reuses. The endeavour elements and themes are systematically applied to help envision, pursue, and achieve mutually beneficial relationships between both parties. The application of direct outcomes theory as a mediator of the relationship between university careers services and graduate recruiters offers synergy effects for both parties and helps overcome pre-existing barriers to collaboration and communication. Our paper applies the state progress checklist from direct outcomes theory to a new domain of the university-to-work transition to bridge research agendas across the education, vocational behaviour, and human resource management literature. We identify opportunities for university careers services and graduate recruiters to foster a win-win relationship by aligning their objectives and through the provision and receiving of support. These benefits subsequently transcend additional stakeholders, including university students, universities, and organisations. Moreover, Appendix 1 provides a summary sheet offering some potential questions for each of the nine themes across the three endeavour elements. These example questions are not meant to be an exhaustive list. Their purpose is to act as a starting point for discussion and action. The university careers advisors and graduate recruiters could initially work through this sheet separately before working through the sheet a second time collaboratively.

After ninety years of effort, physics has yet to list all elementary particles, describe dark matter, or adequately understand large-scale gravity. We suggest that a novel approach, nuance-bearing integer-based tagging, explains otherwise unexplained data that associate with those efforts. More generally, we explore two roles for tags that have bases in integers. One role promotes teamwork between science and society. Tags unite work within single endeavors. Tags entwine multiple endeavors. One role enables physics research. Tags unite properties of objects and aspects of fields. Tags help specify elementary particles, dark matter, and gravity. Physics results include the following. We catalog electromagnetic and gravitational properties of objects. We suggest a well-specified description of dark matter. We describe long-range aspects of gravity. We catalog all known and predict new elementary particles. We suggest insight regarding galaxy evolution. We suggest that those physics results help explain data that seemingly no other work explains.
