In Singapore, a recently conducted survey by the Council for Private Education (CPE) found that 58 per cent of those who graduated from nine private schools in 2014 found full-time jobs within six months of completing their studies.
However, 83 per cent for graduates from the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University managed to do the same.
The CPE survey looked at nine private schools, including Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), Curtin Education Centre, ITC School of Laws, and Trent Global College of Technology and Management.
SIM said that its own survey for the class of 2014 found 73 per cent of its global education graduates had full-time jobs within six months, with more than half of them getting two or more job offers.
SIM’s global education arm said that “the employability of our graduates is a priority”, adding that it has been putting in place measures to enhance the employability outcomes of its graduates like career counselling and offers internship opportunities.
