- Fourth survey on the labour market outcomes of graduates from universities in Catalonia
Surveys on the labour market outcomes of graduates (graduate employment outcomes) are of fundamental value for any higher education system. Firstly, they provide information on the match and trends between supply and demand, and the figures are highly dependent on the situation in the labour market. Secondly, they provide indicators of the quality of education in terms of the prospects of graduates in the labour market, which is fundamental information for the design and monitoring of study programmes, particularly those that are professionally orientated. Thirdly, the data gathered in these studies is highly useful for career and professional guidance purposes and services, with the information that they provide being of particular relevance at a time of economic crisis like the present.

The monitoring of recognised Bachelor and Master's programmes is to begin this year in Catalan universities. The monitoring process itself, which is described in the Framework for Ex-ante Assessment, Monitoring, Modifications and Accreditation being set in motion by AQU Catalunya, is based on two sound aspects that go a long way to ensuring the success of this stage of the process that is starting now.
