A Message from the Minister
It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the Employment Experiences and Earnings of Recent Graduates, 1999 – Memorial University. The report is designed to address the growing need for high quality labour market information in support of career and program planning. The student, career counsellor and university administrator alike will find the information in this report an invaluable aid in identifying programs that best match the skills required by employers and the skills of postsecondary graduates.
This publication is an example of government’s commitment to ensuring accountability in postsecondary education in the Province. It provides detailed program-level information on graduate employment, earnings, out-migration, student loans and length of job search, and describes graduates’ opinions of their investment of time and money in their program.
It is my sincere wish that Employment Experiences and Earnings of Recent Graduates, 1999 – Memorial University will become a trusted source of information for all those with an interest in graduate outcomes in today’s dynamic labour market.
Judy Foote
Minister of Education
