Since 1998 AlmaLaurea has been carrying out annual surveys on Graduates’ Employment status.

The survey analyses Graduates’ Employment status one, three and five after they have completed their degree and provides a broad snapshot of graduates’ entry into the labour market, the characteristics of the jobs they found (including salary) and the actual use in their work of the skills acquired at university. The 25 th report involved 670,000 interviewees from 78 different universities.

As regards the University of Turin, the survey on employment status involved a total of 26,166 graduates. The University of Turin informs that the data focus on the analysis of the performances of graduates holding bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, interviewed one year after they obtained the degree in 2021, and on those holding master’s degree who graduated in 2017, interviewed after five years.

In addition, for graduates with bachelor’s degree, who have never enrolled in a subsequent university course, the employment rate one year after graduation increased from 76.2% (according to the 2022 Report) to 76.4% (according to the
2023 Report).
The other indicators were also good: the unemployment rate dropped from 10.3% to 9.1%, part-time employment decreased from 21.4% to 19% and wages rose from 1,304 to 1,331 euros per month after tax.
The University of Turin shows a positive trend compared to the Italian national average. Indeed, the employment rate of bachelor graduates at the University of Turin
is 76.4% compared to the Italian average of 75.4%.
The employment rate for graduates with a master’s degree, one year after graduating, compared to the results of the previous report, has increased from 75.4% in 2022 to 77.9% in 2023. In addition, in 2023, the unemployment rate has fallen from 11.6% to 9% and part-time employment has decreased from 18.7% to 14.4%.

The employment rate one year after obtaining a master’s degree at the University of Turin is 77.9% compared to the national average of 77.1%.
The employment rate five years after completing a master’s degree has maintained at the same level of the previous year. On the other hand, the monthly net salary (after
tax) has increases from 1,641 euros in 2022 to 1,696 euros in 2023, the unemployment rate has decreased from 3.8% to 3.3% and part-time employment has fallen from 9.4 % to 8 %. The employment rate five years after obtaining a master’s degree at the University of Turin is 90% compared to the national average of 88.7%.

As regards the employment profile of graduates at Politecnico, the survey reveals that most of them (86.6%) continue studying after their bachelor’s degree, so they enter the world of work only after completing their master’s degree. Among graduates holding a bachelor’s degree, who have never enrolled in a master’s degree course and therefore entered the world of work, the employment rate is 74.6%, compared to the
national Italian average of 75.4%.

However, the most significant figure, concerns the employment rate of graduates one year after receiving their master’s degree, which keeps rising compared to previous years and is significantly higher than the national average: the 90.7% of master’s graduates at Politecnico di Torino are employed, a figure which is much higher than the national average of 77.1%. Compared to the last year, the employment rate one year after completing a master’s degree in engineering has increased to 95.1%; the employment rate of graduates holding a master’s degree in architecture has also been rising consistently, reaching 87.7%.

According to the latest AlmaLaurea data, the percentage of employed people increases further five years after graduation, when it reaches 94% compared to the
national average of 88.7%.
The type of employment of Politecnico graduates is also interesting: 41.7% of them have a permanent employment contract. In addition, there is a significant difference in terms of salary between those who graduated from Politecnico and the Italian average: a monthly net salary (after tax) of 1,632 euros compared to an average salary of 1,366 euros one year after their graduation and 2,013 euros compared to 1,1697 euros five years after graduating. Both figures have been increasing since the previous survey.
