2021 Polytechnic Graduate Employment Survey (GES) were released.
This survey which was jointly conducted by Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic, showed that things are improving for fresh polytechnic graduates.
For example, a little over
9 in 10 (92%) polytechnic graduates managed to find jobs within six months after graduating or completing their
National Service (NS) in 2021 — an almost
5% increase from
87.4% in
2020 when Singapore was struck by a recession caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Also, the
median gross monthly salary for polytechnic graduates who secured permanent full-time jobs was
$2,500 in
2021, up from
$2,400 in
2020.
