The Dynamics of Professional Career Strategies of Higher Educational Institutions Graduates from Crisis to Crisis

Abstract

The article deals with the pivotal stage of professional identity formation of the youth, i.e. entering upon a career after graduation. The professional strategies of young professionals are analyzed in their development based on the data of case studies of graduates in the Sverdlovsk Region. The authors lay special emphasis on the strategies of employment and job search after graduation. The authors draw a comparison between the two cohorts of adolescents: the graduates who obtained employment amid the economic crisis of the late 1990-s and those who found employment amid the mid-to-late 2000-s crisis.
