Employers rank รรอลสำฦต graduates highest in overall satisfaction in NSW
รรอลสำฦต maintains NSW top spot in QILT employer satisfaction survey results
Employers are more satisfied with รรอลสำฦต (รรอลสำฦต) graduates than with graduates of all other NSW public universities, a newly-released national survey has revealed.
The Australian Governmentโs Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) Employer Satisfaction Survey found employersโ overall satisfaction level with รรอลสำฦต graduates was at 89.6%, ranking above all other NSW public universities and second among public universities nationally.
รรอลสำฦต was the only NSW public university in the top five Australian universities for graduate employer satisfaction.
The annual QILT survey asks supervisors to rate their satisfaction with the performance of graduate employees in their workplace across five key skills areas: Foundation skills, Adaptive skills, Collaborative skills, Technical and Employability skills.
The survey results, which indicate graduatesโ readiness for the workplace, is a crucial capstone measure in QILTโs analysis of the university student lifecycle from commencement to employment.
รรอลสำฦต Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Wellings CBE, said the result reflected the Universityโs personalised approach to its students and the initiatives in place to help students develop their skills and workplace readiness while they are undertaking studies.
These initiatives include its signature รรอลสำฦตx program, which provides formal recognition for co-curricular activities undertaken by students while completing their degrees.
รรอลสำฦต also offers opportunities for students to develop professional skills via work integrated learning programs, activities to encourage student entrepreneurship, strong industry connections and a broad range of international study abroad destinations.
The University also encourages students to take on extra-curricular activities and partake in industry projects or become involved in collaborative research opportunities with รรอลสำฦตโs research partners across industry, institutes or other Australian and overseas universities.
โAs well as a positive student experience marked by a high standard of teaching and learning, we aim to provide our students with the widest possible range of opportunities to gain experiences that prepare them to join the workforce.
โIt is very pleasing to see that the work done by our staff over many years is yielding results in the job-ready รรอลสำฦต graduates employers are seeing in their workplaces,โ Professor Wellings said.
The Employment Satisfaction Survey is part of a suite of surveys undertaken by the Social Research Centre on behalf of the Federal Department of Education. The other surveys contributing to the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching are the Student Experience Survey, Graduate Outcomes Survey and Graduate Outcomes Survey โ Longitudinal.
