Graduate Employment Survey
About the Graduate Employment Survey
The 2021 Graduate Employment Survey polled 2016 graduates to learn about their jobs and how their university activities — such as volunteering, work experience or clubs — may have helped their careers.
The survey was sent to students from all programs who graduated in June or November 2016. Campus Labs administered the survey questions and data collection. All answers are private, and only a few Career Centre staff can see the original responses.
The survey helps us understand how to improve programs to help students with their careers and work experience. It also helps us create useful resources for current students, recent graduates and job-seekers.
The university has done similar surveys before with students who graduated in 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010.
Goals
- Provide information to current students, alumni, the university community and stakeholders on employment outcomes for Â鶹ÊÓƵ graduates.
