Swiss Graduates Job Market Monitor (GJMM)
Recession - Skilled Labour Shortage - Everything normal again?
It started with COVID19, when we realized, that we have absolutely no idea about the job market for our graduates. And since then we try to bring a little bit of light into the darkness with the "Swiss Graduates Job Market Monitor", a project of the Career Services Network of Switzerland, which attempts to record and map the development of the labour market for university graduates using various indicators.
The Swiss Graduates Job Market Monitor is the only indicator for graduates positions world wide, that is published quarterly.
Why is that important?
The labor market is competitive. When competition is tougher, more effort is needed. The GJMM is intended to serve Career Services as a communication tool with which they can explain the situation on the job market to their students.
Which are the indicators?
The monitor includes 2 indicators
J - Job Platforms - monthly, start: July 2020, next survey every 20th of the month,
C - Career Services employees - every three months, start August 2020, next survey April 2021 - new indicator planned for 2025
The project team
- Selina Hofmann, HES-SO Valais, Indicator J - Job platforms
- Aline Bach, University of St. Gallen
- Roger Gfrörer, University of Zurich
