Abstract
This paper describes the context and objective of a Work-Place Coopera tive Project (WPCP) established in the School of Geography at the Univ ersity of Leeds in 1995. The project, in part a response to the changi ng graduate and employment market in the early 1990s, presents student s with issues with a geographical dimension from business, commerce, i ndustry and environmental research. A number of examples from the WPCP are presented.
