Sisällön kuvaus

The survey charted the employment situation and job placement of persons who had graduated from the University of Tampere in 2012.

Current employment situation, employment history before and after graduation, and experiences of unemployment after graduation were investigated. The respondents were asked about the nature of their current job and whether the job was commensurate with their qualifications. One topic covered job searching methods used. The respondents were asked which factors had been the most important in obtaining their current job and which factors may have hindered or prevented them from finding a job. Views were probed on whether they had gained useful skills and abilities (e.g. information seeking skills, social skills, language skills, problem solving skills) from their studies. Satisfaction with the degree and plans for further study were also surveyed.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, region, and information on the degree (degree programme, faculty, field of study and time of starting studies).

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Open-ended variables were removed from the data with the exception of variables regarding the university's educational provision, internships, and alumni activities. The open-ended responses were anonymised and the anonymised parts marked with [square brackets]. To prevent identification, the "year of starting studies" variable was categorised. In addition, two female graduates in health sciences in 2012 were coded as male due to very few male graduates in health sciences.

Painokertoimet

There are no weight variables in the data.
