DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Destination Survey is designed to collect information on the destination of higher education graduates. The survey focuses on recent graduates' participation in the labour market and further education. The survey is carried out by the Graduate Careers Council of Australia (GCCA) in association with Australian higher education institutions. Each institution is involved with the dispatch and collection of the GDS forms. The survey results are used to evaluate, within five months after the completion of graduates' qualifications, the extent to which they are employed, seeking employment, engaged in further study or unavailable to work.
