KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 (Bernama) -- Despite market fear of an imminent recession, 86 per cent of 2022 business school graduates were employed at the time of graduation, up from 80 per cent in 2021, according to a recent survey report by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC).
Contributing to the favourable trends are the regional results of graduates who studied in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe.
Among graduates of Asia-Pacific business schools, this year 91 per cent report being employed at the time of graduation, compared with 78 per cent in 2021.
Similarly, among European graduates, 90 per cent indicate they were employed this year compared with 75 per cent last year.
The annual Enrolled Students Survey from GMAC, a global association of leading graduate business schools, aims to better understand current trends in student and recent graduates’ evaluations and outcomes of their graduate management education (GME).
Conducted in May-June 2022, this year’s survey explores the views of 1,718 respondents from nearly 300 business schools in 57 countries on their overall GME experience, job search, and compensation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“With the volatile economic conditions and organisational challenges brought on by the pandemic, well-rounded and prepared business leaders and managers are especially in demand in the current job market,” said Matt Hazenbush, director of research analysis and communications at GMAC and author of the report.
“As the survey findings suggest, graduate management education provides students with a powerful leg up for their career,” he said in a statement.
