This study cataloged the occupational outcomes attained by 2946 counselor education graduates who completed their doctoral degrees between 2014 and 2022. A position as a full-time counselor educator was the most common occupation; this outcome could be predicted from the institutional affiliations, Carnegie Classifications, and locations of…

Higher education broadly assumes a conceptual link between generic skills and employability. We accessed a large sample of data collected by the Australian Government to investigate whether the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) subscales Good Teaching (GTS), Graduate Skills (GSS), and Graduate Qualities (GQS) predicted graduates' employment…

Despite a large earnings premium for bachelor's degree completion in general, graduates from low-income families earn substantially less than graduates from high-income families. While prior research has documented the role of college quality and major choice in explaining these gaps, we examine undermatching on a different margin: the first…

In high-income countries in recent years, the non-academic labour market destination of PhD-holders, i.e., the segmentation by industry sector of destination, has emerged as an issue. Universities and other research-intensive institutions can no longer absorb the major share of PhD-holders. Their employment has become a matter of segmentation both…

There have been few research findings related to what specific characteristics or attributes might predict whether students who graduate from programs are likely to secure employment after graduation. The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative study was to identify the characteristics that differ between community college students who…

This study explores how exposure to creative coursework during one's education can influence a variety of educational, career, and community involvement outcomes for arts alumni. Data were drawn from over 40,000 undergraduate-level arts alumni from the 2015, 2016, and 2017 administrations of the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP). A…

This article models the migration flow of EEA students who graduated from masters and doctoral programmes in UK universities. The increased intra-European mobility of students and graduates is claimed to have crucial positive influence on building Europe's high-skill labour force, which in turn would strengthen its competency in the global…

The main objectives of this study were to explore the common perception of students about their education for their practical lives, investigate the relationship between higher education and employment, and the extent higher education predicts employment for students. Number of participants were 1210 which were divided into two groups i.e. current…

A sample of predominantly African American psychology major baccalaureates from a historically Black university self-reported job types, salaries, and master's degree completion. For this pre-2009 recession sample, we found that (a) the rates of employment were quite high; (b) most jobs were related to health, mental health, social work, and…

This research explores the relationship between place and the career experiences of STEM-educated recent college graduates in the U.S. over the 2000-2010 decade. Specifically, it seeks to understand how these graduates' early career outcomes (earnings, odds of unemployment and underemployment) are contingent on the location where they received…

Nowadays, the successful transition of graduates from university into the world of work is one of the most important priorities of all involved stakeholders: governments, institutions of higher education, and individuals, as well as researchers. The present study analyzes the employability characteristics of higher technological education…

A study of the use of employment and unemployment patterns of recent graduates as predictors of a university's graduates' employability found that differences in employment patterns are more a function of the mix of majors among a particular institution's graduates, and that use of these predictors is unstable over time.

Income predictions that provide some indication of the potential value of attending college are considered. Standard multiple regression analysis of data describing the income experiences of men 25 years old and older were used to determine differences in incomes of high school and college graduates. Information on the gross national product was…

A national follow-up study of 3,420 college students found (1) the net positive impact of grades on earnings substantially greater for Black men than White; (2) that grades' impact was not conditioned by college selectivity, major, college race, job type, or employer type; and (3) that direct effects alone underestimate grade impact substantially…

Of the 108 million women age 16 or over who were part of the 1999 civilian noninstitutional U.S. population, 65 million (about 60%) were either employed or actively looking for work. In 1999, black, white, and Hispanic women participated in the labor force at rates of 63.5%, 59.6%, and 55.9%, respectively. According to projections, women will…
