USPs

USPs of the trendence Graduate Barometer 2011:

» The trendence Graduate Barometer has grown to be the largest survey on career, education and employer topics in Europe. 1,077 institutions in 24 countries took part and 310,000 students answered the survey.

» The survey was conducted in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

» The students were asked about their preferences and expectations in their future career, their satisfaction with their university, and the attractiveness of future employers.

» The main target group for the survey was business/economics and engineering/IT/natural science students, however, we are of course interested in hearing the opinions of all students. Therefore we have three editions of the trendence Graduate Barometer Partner Report: business, engineering and total (including students of all fields of study).

Optimism indicator

Question: How many APPLICATIONS do you expect to send (did you send) to find your first professional position?Question: How many MONTHS do you expect to need (did you require) to find your first professional position?The trendence Optimism Index is an indicator for graduate confidence in relation to their job prospects. It has been calculated from two parameters, which have been chosen yearly as part of the evaluation of the job application process. 1) Number of anticipated applications. 2) Length of time it takes to get a job. The highest possible mark of 100 symbolises an "overheating" of the market: in such a market every graduate would find a position within the shortest of time and with minimal effort.
