Graduates’ job performance lauded

November 28, 2022

A survey commissioned by the Education Bureau has found that most employers are satisfied with the work performance of local first degree and sub-degree graduates.

 

The survey covers graduates of locally accredited first degree and sub-degree programmes in 2019.

 

The results released today showed that 98% of employers were satisfied with first degree graduates’ overall performance, including 78% who said they were quite satisfied or very satisfied.

 

For the sub-degree graduates, about 97% of employers were satisfied with their work performance, including 68% who were quite satisfied or very satisfied.

 

The bureau received over 1,500 valid responses from more than 1,200 companies, organisations and government agencies in the survey conducted from the fourth quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022.

 

The survey also showed more than half of employers saw a need to step up industry-institution collaboration and expressed a willingness to provide internships or pre-employment training for post-secondary students.
