SINGAPORE - Like itspublic counterparts, Singapore's leading private school is also seeing a rising number of its graduates taking on part-time, freelance and contract work.
The Singapore Institute of Management reported that 82.7 per cent of its graduates last year found jobs within six months of completing their degree studies.
But of the total, 18.8 per cent were freelancing or had taken on jobs on a part-time or contract basis, something the school termed "flexible work".
The median gross monthly salary for SIM graduates remained the same as the previous year - at $2,700. This is less than the $3,360 starting salaries of graduates from the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University.
NUS, NTU and SMU, which released their graduate employment survey in February this year, reported that 80.2 per cent of their graduates landed full-time jobs within six months of graduation, but reported the number of part-timers had gone up to 9.5 per cent, from just over 6 per cent the previous year.
