After graduation, our students get jobs!

In spring 2023, we conducted an alumni survey to find out what our former students, alumni, do after graduation. The results of the survey showed that 95 percent had found a job, trainee or volunteer position, started their own business or continued studying after graduation. By 2023, as many as 64 percent of alumni were in permanent employment.
