The Labor Market States the Value of a Bocconi Degree

The value of graduate Bocconi degrees - especially among iternational employers - has increased in the last year, according to the results of the Employment Survey, announced today.

A large majority of Bocconi graduates is already working by their graduation day: the employment rate increased more than 8 percentage points from 60.7% to 68.9%. The last survey (on the entire population of graduates, not just a sample) covers the graduation sessions from June 2014 to April 2015.

Employment is almost full (94.2%, an increase of 0.1%) one year after graduation, with a mean time of placement of one month.

The trend of appreciation of the degree Bocconi in foreign labor markets continues. One Bocconian out of four, one year after graduation, works outside Italy. The rate increased from 22.9% to 25.2%.

"The survey data," says Antonella Carù, Dean of the Bocconi Graduate School, "say that the education we offer is attuned to business needs. All our programs include an international perspective and are continuously innovated, in content and teaching methods, consistent with the continuous transformation of the economic system. Businesses and institutions appreciate the preparation of our students not only for the solid theoretical basis, but also for the operatal skills, developed through many activities, such as field projects, projects developed by corporations and internships. This variety of experiences allows our graduates to fit well into businesses, integrating immediately and starting immediately to make a contribution".

Among the reasons for such placement statistics so in contrast to macroeconomic data there is certainly the activity of Bocconi Career Service, which in 2014 handled 8,086 internship and job offers, 23.5% of which abroad.
