Method & notes
Technical graduates had a larger working share in this 2016 snapshot, while other fields had different balances of further study, waiting and non-employment—but the survey is historical and not a forecast of today's outcomes.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHistorical status mix by field, not a course ranking.
PulseKita reproduces MOHE Graduate Tracer Study Table 3.5.1 for diploma graduates in 2016. Each frame is one main field of study and shows the published share working, continuing study, improving skills, waiting for job placement, or not working.
- Historical 2016 survey snapshot only; it is not a current labour-market forecast.
- The categories describe respondent status at the time of the Graduate Tracer Study.
- Fields have different respondent counts, programme mixes and pathways, so the chart should not be used as a 'best field' ranking.
- Working share is different from MOHE's broader employability definition.
