During the late 70s and 80s, a significant proportion of the third level graduates from engineering and science courses emigrated to join multinationals in mainland Europe and North america.

This stimulated some graduates to set up businesses in these areas. Skilled Graduate Pool. Companies in the 80s and 90s had a steady stream of high quality technical graduates from engineering

and science disciplines ready and willing to work in exciting new startups. The irish Trade Board.

Córas Tráchtála, with its worldwide network, provided market access especially in North america and Asia which allowed startups to punch well above their weight on a global stage.

We have exported many skilled graduates, there has been a significant increase in the uptake of STEM-related courses at third level

While universities'primary focus and strength in supporting entrepreneurship is to provide/develop graduates they also have a strong role to play in leveraging their research developments to create new startups.

As an example, throughout the general population of all ages, second level graduates have an unemployment rate of 23%and third level graduates have an unemployment rate of 13%29.

Furthermore, graduates seeking work experience are excluded from participating in the Jobbridge Programme if they already have part-time evening or weekend employment.

These have proven to be helpful to graduates, giving them the real work experience that is generally sought by employers.

We believe Ireland should encourage these graduates to stay in Ireland and commercialise their research here.

A new targeted programme to encourage entrepreneurship among graduates was launched by Enterprise Ireland in May 2014.

The main purpose of the Graduate Competitive Start Fund is to provide up to 15 graduates with the critical early stage funding to enable them to reach key commercial and technical objectives that will in turn ensure delivery of their product

Aligning the supply of graduates with the demand of the regional labour market necessitates actions that target the improvement of the curricula, the services and the research capacities of the relevant higher education institutions.

One of the most important obstacles of an innovation-driven renewal is the scarcity of highly skilled human resources, especially of graduates in engineering, mathematics and natural sciences.

It is indispensable to align the supply of graduates with the demand of the regional labour market,

the primary task of the former group is to ensure alignment between the supply of graduates and the demand of the regional labour market,

Nevertheless the supply of engineering graduates could not keep up with increasing demand for them. A catch 22 situation:

recognising that business knowledge is a relevant asset for graduates. The Joint Technology Initiatives are another‘low hanging fruit'.

The share of S&e graduates and the rate of participation in lifelong learning are rather low in international comparison.

Yet, both the share of S&e graduates and the rate of participation in lifelong learning are rather low in international comparison.

According to the IUS 2013, the share of doctoral graduates in the 25-34-year age group slightly increased by 7. 5%to 0. 8 (per 1, 000 people) in 2012,

the share of doctoral graduates shows some up and downs, therefore stronger improvement would be required in order to maintain the quality of the Hungarian research system.

Apart from the share of doctoral graduates, it is a positive trend that the share of population aged 30-34 having completed tertiary education increased significantly (8. 7%)to 28.1%according to the IUS 2013 figures

many governments are enacting policies aimed at encouraging more graduates to become job creators, not job seekers.

there are not enough jobs for young university graduates. On the other hand, there is high and unmet demand for technicians of all skills levels

and for skilled blue-collar workers. 46 The region has high numbers of university graduates in fields highly desired by employers today, like science, technology,

. 74 This industry offers a good salary, career development opportunities for graduates and professionals, and the opportunity to incorporate into the labour market marginalized groups like rural women or unemployed youth.

even though more and more of their graduates hunger for a greater sense of purpose and a growing number are drawn to social entrepreneurship.

Under the programme, recent graduates and young professionals spend two years working on various projects, building houses,

and high levels of trust built through common graduate academic programmes and preexisting professional networks such as the International Network of Crisis Mappers cannot be underestimated.

Schools and universities produce a steady flow of graduates trained in software programming, network design and other technical aptitudes,

which offers young college graduates financial support for their graduate work at top international universities, on the condition that they return to the region to work for at least four years.

Not only are trained graduates well within the university, they also come with practical experience gained through co-op placements, both in local firms and in firms all over North america.

the Scottish universities have produced generations of well-trained graduates to service the life sciences labour market: indeed Scotland produces a proportionately larger number of graduates from its universities than other parts of the UK.

The public health service has also been an important consumer for new and innovative medical products,

Consequently the loss of Scottish graduates to other places need not be a problem, and as many return to Scotland later in their careers, can be seen as an important part of the global flows through which knowledge is transferred into the local cluster helping in the regeneration of the scientific knowledge base.

College graduates make up 29%of the employed population in the region, but only 15%of the unemployed.

Business consulting, private research contracts, collaborative research, training of human resources and supervision of graduates are also important modes of knowledge transfer that OTRIS should consider more than has done so far.

it is observed that investments in higher education in Europe have deteriorated over the last decades, leading to a lower number of graduates and researchers in some fields of natural sciences.

Retention of Graduates: The retention rate of graduates within counties (i e. the percentage of graduates from a given county that have employment within that county) is an indicator of the availability of relevant employment for graduates.

Graduates originating from County Dublin generally find employment in this county (94 percent; Cork also demonstrates high rates of retention of employed graduates at 67 percent as does Galway with 57 percent.

As these counties contain major urban centres this would be expected. In general, graduates who originate from other counties do not commonly find employment in their home county.

The average retention rate for each county is 34 percent (outside of Dublin, the average is 32 percent).

Waterford and Wexford have retention rates of 39 percent and 38 percent respectively, slightly above the national average.

In summary, most graduates from the South East counties, as with most other counties, find employment outside of their county of origin, with the main urban areas of Dublin, Cork,

Galway and Limerick retaining the majority of graduates from those counties. Occupational Profile9 The occupational profile is reflective of overall skill levels within the workforce and the broad sectoral profile of employment.
