Purpose The purpose of this paper is to gain a better understanding of the antecedents of the quality of graduates’ jobs when they enter the job market after university graduation. Design/methodology/approach Survey data collected from 173 Spanish bachelor and master’s degree university graduates at two time points (two months before and six months after graduation, approximately) were analyzed by means of path analysis. Findings A moderated mediation model was tested, where the relationship between the horizontal fit (HF) between the university degree subject and the student’s job and the quality of the graduate’s job after graduation is mediated by self-perceived employability and moderated by the time devoted to a student job. Results showed that the relationship between HF and job quality was partially mediated by self-perceived employability. However, contrary to the proposed hypothesis, this relationship did not depend on the time devoted to a student job. Originality/value This study contributes to improving the understanding about how and why university students’ work experience is related to the quality of their jobs as fresh graduates.

The article is devoted to the study of the relevance of the competencies of graduates of engineering specialties in the labour market. The authors consider higher schools of Russia and America. Schools are guided in training of engineers on deep and actual knowledge, skills in the professional sphere, but forget about not less important, fl exible (soft) skills which are accepted to call «soft skills». The authors consider the quality of education of students in connection with its competitiveness and the possibility of employment in the labour market, the relationship between education and employment, the relationship of assessments and the actual competencies of the specialist. The authors show that the key indicators of the eff ectiveness of higher education and the quality of training is the degree of orientation of educational programs on the labour market. Labour market orientation is realized through interaction between education and employers and is formalized in the form of criteria and requirements for graduates in terms of their current practical suitability for employment. The introduction of new Federal educational standards poses the problem of developing such curricula, the implementation of which will allow graduates to form the necessary competence for employers. This suggests the need to introduce an additional system of assessing the qualifi cations of young professionals in the educational process of higher education, helping to determine the degree of their readiness to work in the profession and the initial orientation of University curricula to maximize this readiness. The system of professional standards acts as a basis, which helps to build training in accordance with the production requirements and determine the quality of this training.

Este artículo analiza la calidad de la inserción de los graduados catalanes en situación de ocupación tres años después de obtener el título universitario. La inserción se estudia a partir de los indicadores subjetivos del término desde la perspectiva de la equidad. Se ha indagado sobre la satisfacción del egresado con el trabajo, la valoración que hacen de las competencias adquiridas en la universidad y su utilidad en el mercado laboral, y si perciben equilibrio entre la formación y el desempeño laboral. Se ha optado por una metodología cuantitativa, analizando la Encuesta de Inserción Laboral de Graduados Universitarios de la Agència per a la Qualitat del Sistema Universitari de Catalunya (AQU) para los años 2014 y 2017. Se trata de una muestra estratificada por titulación en la que han participado 17.337 y 15.563 respectivamente. Los resultados manifiestan que las características estructurales de los titulados universitarios, especialmente ser mujer, y educativas, como tener buenas notas y haber estudiado un grado que no sea del área de Humanidades, contribuyen a configurar su percepción más positiva sobre la transición al mercado laboral en términos de indicadores subjetivos de inserción. El análisis comparado entre las dos ediciones evidencia el efecto de la crisis económica y los indicios de recuperación, muy pronunciada en el caso del área de Ing. y Arquitectura. Finalmente, Bolonia y el aprendizaje por competencias han dado sus frutos, pese a que será necesario seguir trabajando en políticas orientadas al seguimiento y acompañamiento del estudiante en la transición al trabajo. This article analyses the quality of access to the labour market for Catalan graduates three years after obtaining a university degree. The labour integration process is studied on the basis of subjective indicators of the term from an equity perspective. For this purpose, job satisfaction has been investigated, as well as the assessment of the skills acquired at university and their usefulness in the labour market, and whether students perceive a balance between training and job performance. A quantitative methodology has been chosen, working with secondary data from the Agència per a la Qualitat del Sistema Universitari de Catalunya (AQU) for the years 2014 and 2017. The results show that the structural characteristics of the university graduates, especially being women, and educational characteristics, such as having good grades and having studied a degree that does not belong to the area of Humanities, contribute to configuring a more positive perception of the transition to the labour market. The comparative analysis between the two editions evidences the effect of the economic crisis and the signs of recovery, very pronounced in the case of the area of Engineering and Architecture. Finally, the Bologna reform and competence-based learning have given rewards, even though it will be necessary to continue working on policies aimed at monitoring and guiding student in the process of transition to the labour market.

We investigated whether a set of indicators of the employability dimensions proposed by Fugate, Kinicki, and Asforth (i.e., career identity, personal adaptability, and human and social capital) are related to university graduates’ employment status and five indicators of the quality of their jobs (pay, hierarchical level, vertical and horizontal match, and job satisfaction). We analyzed a representative sample of university graduates ( N = 7,881) from the population of graduates who obtained their degree from the University of Valencia in the period 2006–2010. The results showed that indicators of human and social capital were related to employment status, whereas indicators of human and social capital and career identity were related to distinct job quality indicators. These results support the validity of the conceptual model proposed by Fugate et al. to investigate employability in samples of university graduates.
