The Key Employability Drivers

understanding and using the KEY EMPLOYABILITY DRIVERS

Employability is constantly redefined. It is increasingly driven by a variety of aspects replacing traditional indicators such as salary or time-to-market. With over 1 million university reviews by employers across years, geographies and industries we introduced a driver concept which allows us to analyse the employer’s statements in our survey, then the motives behind each vote in the university ranking.

This is a flexible framework of employability drivers which can adapt to a changing environment. It sets a global standard to measure AND manage your strategic decisions for employability. It serves students facing important career decisions, but also universities who need to create the most attractive and performing learning environment for their graduates who will join the corporate sector in the near future.

OUR COMMENTS:

In 2022 we see for the first time that Employers rank the KEY EMPLOYABILITY DRIVERS very similarly for universities ranked 1-20 and universities ranked 21 to 200 in the GEURS 2022 Ranking.
Graduate skills (which include the digital skills of graduates) are in first position in both cases.
