Summary: The Higher Education Authority (HEA) publishes the results of a survey of over 29,000 individuals who graduated in 2017 from our higher education institutions. It found that 78% of that class are now working while 14% are in further education or training, 5% are seeking work and up to 4% are engaged in other activities (eg travel) (rounding occurs). The survey, conducted nine months after graduation, asked respondents what they were doing, where they were working, how much they were earning and their views on their course of study. This is the most comprehensive study of this kind conducted to date as it includes all universities, the institutes of technology and other colleges. Just over half of all graduates in 2017 responded. The survey found little difference in employment outcomes based on the institution attended - 78% of university graduates and 78% of institute of technology graduates were employed (and unemployment rates were similar at 4% v 6%). Also, male and female employment prospects were similar with 78% of graduates of each gender employed nine months after graduating. Of particular note is that 90% of those who graduate and go into work find employment in Ireland. This includes 93% of employed Irish graduates and 62% of employed international graduates.
