Good job prospects for chemical graduates

摘要

Chemical engineering graduates found entering the job market at the beginning of this year more diffi cult than their counterparts in other engineering disciplines. However, the vast majority found full-time jobs within four months of completing their courses. The recently-released Graduate Careers Australia report on those who fi nished university in 2007 found 86.2% of chemical engineering graduates available for work were in full-time employment four months after completing their degrees. This compares to 98.7% for mining engineers, 97.8% for civil engineers, 92.1% for aeronautical engineers and 86.3% for graduates from all bachelor or postgraduate courses overall.
