Thesis: Should I Stay or Should I Go Employability in Educational Orientations

Abstract:

The question as to which credentials best position its graduates for success in the labor market is an essential concern for students. This study investigates labor outcomes for graduates of Canadian institutions, checking for which orientation has the best likelihood for labor market success. Results show that there is no credential that consistently outdoes the others in the labor market. There is no degree, diploma, or certificate that guarantees the best odds in all the outcomes investigated. While those that graduated with university diplomas/certificates above bachelor’s degrees had the best relative income outcomes as well as best odds for being employed years after graduation, trade school diploma/certificate holders had the best odds for finding employment right after graduation. Also, doctorate holders had the lowest odds for skill and field mismatches. By sex, men with bachelor’s degrees consistently had the best odds best for finding first and current employment - permanent and otherwise.
