Graduate Career Tracking – a Case Study of a Faculty of Management in Poland
The aim of the article was to present a case study of graduate employability assessment of a faculty of management in Poland. The literature review showed that the main problem universities encounter while trying to track down the professional careers of their graduates concerns difficulties in contacting their alumni. It may be partially overcome by employing social media. The findings from the case study are in line with those of previous studies. The Faculty’s decision-makers managed to increase the number of responses to their survey by using LinkedIn and Facebook. They collected valuable information on both the employability of their graduates, who, in most cases, progressed in their IT-related careers upon graduation, and the suggested changes in the curricula, e.g. organizing project management certification courses. The findings of the study may be useful to university decision-makers in their attempts to build efficient systems of graduate employability assessment systems.
