Investigation on the Employability of Graduates from the Perspective of Employers: A Case Study of Shanghai
In 2012,the investigation on the employers who recruited graduates from higher educational institutions in Shanghai shows,that when recruiting graduates,the employers usually hold the philosophy of pragmatism,but there were differences according to the localities,types and scales of employers.The employers,state-owned enterprises and institutions,and large-scale enterprises outside of Shanghai valued the graduates' academic background,while the other units thought highly of the graduates' personality and interpersonal competence.Although the employers were basically satisfied with the quality of the graduates,their level of satisfaction was much lower than what has been found in other countries and regions.Meanwhile,their evaluation of employment services provided by higher educational institutions was not encouraging.
