Tampere University career monitoring
Career monitoring
Career monitoring aims to collect data on academic careers during the first few years after graduation. Respondents are asked to evaluate their satisfaction on their degrees and careers. They are also asked to reflect on different aspects that have helped finding employment.
Second part of the survey concentrates on the skills and knowledge needed in the working life. Respondents are asked to evaluate, how the skills were developed during their studies. Graduates may also give advice to current students on skills that might be useful for them in the future.
Results of the surveys provide important information to support teaching and counselling in the university. Systematic and comprehensive information about working life is also utilized in the development of academic education. The knowledge on the various possibilities in the working life is meaningful to current students. As important it is for university applicants when making decisions on their studies and careers.
Since 2021, the results of the master’s career monitoring survey have been tied to the universities’ funding model. In other words, the responses also have a direct impact on the funding of one’s own university. Every response counts.
