Finding Work

Complementing existing labour-market research on graduates, this study provides qualitative and quantitative data on graduates’ experiences in the labour market. The data presented here offers a clear picture of graduate employment and includes the time it takes graduates to find employment, the factors that influence employability, the types of jobs they find, their perceptions of the relation of the level of jobs they found to their qualifications and the sectors of employment.
