The collection of working life feedback from alumni who graduated from universities of applied sciences in 2019 is running!
The 2024 career monitoring survey will be held 10th October - 10th November 2024. We will then contact more than three thousand of our alumni who graduated from their bachelor's and master's degrees in 2019.
The purpose of the survey is to examine the labor market situation and satisfaction of graduates of universities of applied sciences with their completed degree. Where have our graduates found employment, and how does the degree meet the needs of working life? What is our graduate's career path like and are our alumni satisfied with their degree? Answers to these questions are sought through a survey.
Higher education institutions utilize up-to-date working life data obtained from the career monitoring survey in the planning and development of education. Based on the career monitoring survey, working life information is also provided to those in the application phase, students and graduates for planning their own studies and careers.
Some of the questions are used as an indicator of qualitative employment in universities of applied sciences in the funding model of universities of applied sciences.
The annual career monitoring survey is an excellent opportunity for Metropolia's alumni to influence the development of education and give feedback on employment, career paths and skills needed in their work. In last year's 2023 survey, alumni who graduated from bachelor's and master's degrees in 2018 responded enthusiastically, and Metropolia improved its response rate the second most in Finland, by 11,5% ✨
According to the survey, the employment rate of those who have graduated from Metropolia is very good: what they have learned at Metropolia carries well in working life, as five years after graduation, 87% of all Metropolia graduates were very or fairly satisfied with the degree they had completed and 89% were satisfied with their careers so far.
