Data and methods of the 2nd phase of the European pilot survey of higher education graduates and eecommendations on the way forward : technical report on EUROGRADUATE 2022

The EUROGRADUATE 2022 Technical Report complements the final comparative report by detailing the project organisation and methodology used; it also provides an assessment of the quality standard achieved in the EUROGRADUATE 2022 survey, as well as a summary of the lessons learned and recommendations for its further sustainability and quality enhancement. The long-term goal of EUROGRADUATE is to establish a source of comprehensive, comparable, and regular data on higher education graduates covering all countries of the European Economic Area (EEA). The EUROGRADUATE 2022 survey constitutes a significant contribution to the enhancement of the European Education Area, not least through its contribution to the recent Union of Skills initiative. The EUROGRADUATE surveys are part of the European Graduate Tracking Initiative (EGTI), initiated by the European Commission in response to the Council Recommendation on tracking graduates (2017). In order to guide policies for improving employability of graduates and the match of graduates' education with labour market requirements, the Council requested to improve the availability, comparability and quality of graduate tracking measures, including for mobile graduates, across EU/EEA countries.
