Evidences of Employment Opportunities for Technical University Graduates
Technical universities play a crucial role in shaping the future of aspiring engineers, developers, and innovators. However, one compelling question remains - do graduates of Technical Universities secure employment or become self-employed based on the skills and competencies they acquire from their university training? To delve into this topic, we have created a survey to gather valuable insights from the graduates themselves.
This survey, titled 'Graduate Employment Survey,' comprises 20 thought-provoking questions designed to capture the experiences and perspectives of Technical University graduates. We have categorized this survey as 'Education Research' due to its relevance to the field.
The questionnaire begins by asking respondents whether they have graduated from a Technical University, followed by questions on their confidence in the skills acquired during their university training. With a single choice question, we aim to understand how graduates perceive the direct contribution of their skills and competencies to their employability.
Further, the survey explores the motivation behind choosing a Technical University and the specific skills obtained during university education. Multiple-choice questions give graduates the option to select their primary motivations, such as career opportunities, practical learning approach, and interest in the subject. Participants also have an opportunity to express whether their acquired skills align with employment sectors like Engineering, Information Technology, Healthcare, and more.
Internship and work experience play an essential role in the journey to employment. Through this survey, we investigate whether graduates had relevant opportunities during their university education and if those experiences helped them in securing employment after graduation or venturing into self-employment.
To gauge the provision of essential support services, the survey includes questions on career guidance and counseling offered during university education. We also explore the satisfaction levels of graduates with their current jobs or self-employment and gather reasons from those who are yet to secure employment or self-employment.
We are keen to understand the role of universities in preparing graduates to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the job market. Furthermore, we are curious about the resources graduates found most helpful during their job search, such as career services offices, online job portals, alumni networks, and more.
The Graduate Employment Survey ends by identifying the employment status of the respondents, including options for employed full-time, employed part-time, self-employed, unemployed, and others. For self-employed graduates, we inquire about the time taken to establish their business after graduation.
This survey isn't just another random set of questions. It aims to shed light on the correlation between university training and employment outcomes for Technical University graduates. By conducting this research, we hope to uncover genuine insights that guide universities in equipping students with the skills and competencies necessary for a successful career.
If you are a Technical University graduate, we encourage you to participate in this survey. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of education and providing guidance to aspiring students.
