Higher Education - Graduates
The higher education graduates outcomes helps understand the destinations of students after graduting from higher education. For clarity on data collection, please navigate to HESA Website.
The dashboard presents destinations of graduates from higher education by industry, occupation, salary bands and their reflections on various indicators.
An understanding of HE Graduate activity can be used to assess the performance of recent graduates from local HE Institutes, and the main industries and salaries being achieved. This can be helpful in career planning and workforce benchmarking activity, as well as helpful to understand performance when considered against the supply-side HE study area dashboards.
