Employment: Graduates

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of graduates supported by Jobcentre Plus enter roles classified as graduate-level employment.

Answer

We do not capture data on the number of graduates entering graduate schemes or graduate-level employment. The latest published DfE data shows that the unemployment rate for graduates is lower than non-graduates. A link to this data can be found here.(opens in a new tab)
