The Graduate Employment Survey , jointly conducted by Singapore’s five polytechnics in 2016, found that the overall employment rate for polytechnic graduates has increased to 90.6 per cent for fresh graduates.
The survey polled over 10,000 fresh polytechnic graduates about six months after their final exams.
About 56 per cent of these respondents had secured full-time permanent employment, and 34.8 per cent were on part-time, temporary or freelance employment.
Most of those who were on part-time employment were pursuing or about to begin further studies.
