  • The most important factors Australian graduates seek in a prospective employer are a good salary (63%), flexible working environment (50%) and job training and opportunities (39%).
  • 75% of Australian graduates say they are confident in their future career prospects, up from 65 % in 2021.
  • Regarding work arrangements, 48% of Australian graduates prefer a hybrid working environment compared to 15% of graduates wanting to work entirely in the office and 15% wanting to be entirely remote.
  • 76% of Australian graduates believe that pursuing a degree is worth it and that their career prospects are improved by undertaking a degree (73%).
  • 93% said upskilling or acquiring professional/post-graduate certifications is important to the job market.
  • Australian graduates are most confident about a career in healthcare, followed by finance, sales, media and marketing, education then IT and technology.
