Abstract

The survey on the professional integration of graduates is part of the system of surveys on the transition from education to employment. As its primary objective, these surveys want to detect the employment status of young people in a predetermined distance from an educational qualification (respectively, diploma, degree, doctorate). The choice to analyze the phenomenon at a certain distance from the qualification, traditionally detected in "three years", is motivated both by the need to take account of the conclusion of further qualification activities and by the fact that the time of insertion in the labour market is not short, especially if you also want to investigate the quality of their job. Despite the previous editions, the survey of 2015 on graduates in 2011 used mixed tecniques Cati/Cawi. The 2015 survey on the professional integration of graduates  was conducted at a greater distance from degree (four years) and for the first time it has investigated on the employment outcomes of graduates in 2011 biennial specialized courses (the "+2" introduced with the reform of the academic cycles in Italy). In fact, the greatest distance from graduation has allowed us to follow, longitudinally, graduate people in "three-year" courses in 2011 (Bachelor's degree) to the possible consecutive specialist degree, obtaining early feedback on how many workers also have obtained a specialist degree since 2011. This edition of the survey includes: - graduates in "three-year" courses (Bachelor's degree); - graduates in "single-cycle" courses (which includes, in addition to specialist degrees/single-cycle  degrees,  the 4-6 years "traditional" degrees); - graduates in specialist degree/master (two-year duration). The survey questionnaire is divided into five sections. the first section, which covers all respondents, deals with the information on studying/training activities carried out from the high school diploma to the time of the interview, with particular attention to...
