Comparing 2024 and 2025 Graduate Employment Rates and Median Salaries by Course Cluster

Mr Fadli Fawzi asked the Minister for Manpower how do employment rate and median gross monthly salary of the 2025 cohort of graduates who found full-time employment, by each course cluster, compare with that of the 2024 cohort of graduates, by each course cluster.

Dr Tan See Leng: Based on our data so far, we have seen some improvement in employment rates from 2024 to 2025. As of June this year, the proportion of graduates in permanent employment from the 2025 cohort was 44%, compared to 37% for the 2024 cohort. We do not have data for the 2025 cohort by course cluster or for salaries yet, as this will be collected in the Graduate Employment Survey in November 2025.
