Business schools play a significant role in the professional education and preparation of responsible graduates who go on to populate, manage and lead financial institutions or business enterprises. Financial institutions in Australia have recently been exposed for normalised bad behaviour by the Royal Commission into Banking and Finance and business schools stand accused of perpetuating a corporate culture that prioritises maximizing shareholder profit to the detriment of broader stakeholder concerns. Our research aim is to understand how well business schools have prepared their students to enact personal and social responsibility in workplaces through an investigation into the experiences of current student interns and graduates. Using the theoretical concept of the deliberate professional and a qualitative and exploratory multi methods research design, our findings serve to inform work integrated learning pedagogy and practice that supports students to develop purposeful, critically considered approaches to develop professional identity.
