The latest findings from the Private Education Institution Graduate Employment Survey (PEIGES) indicate that employment outcomes for fresh graduates from private education institutions in Singapore have remained stable for the 2024–2025 period. The survey, conducted by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), focused on economically active graduates from full-time Bachelor’s level External Degree Programmes.
The PEIGES results are significant as they provide insights into the job market performance of graduates from private education institutions, which are often compared to their counterparts from public universities. The survey’s findings suggest that these graduates continue to find employment opportunities at a consistent rate, despite the evolving economic landscape.
The survey’s focus on economically active graduates ensures that the data reflects those actively seeking employment, providing a clear picture of the job market’s receptiveness to private education graduates. This stability in employment outcomes is crucial for students considering private education pathways, as it underscores the viability of these programmes in preparing graduates for the workforce.
The stable employment outcomes also highlight the role of private education institutions in equipping students with skills that meet industry demands. As the job market continues to evolve, the ability of these institutions to maintain consistent employment rates for their graduates is a testament to their adaptability and relevance.
