Flash Eurobarometer 304: Employers’ perception of graduate employability
Description
A new Europe-wide survey among employers shows that, when it comes to graduate recruitment, 'soft' skills are just as valued as sector-specific and computer skills. Significant numbers of employers questioned said that the ability to work well in a team (98%), to adapt to new situations (97%), communication skills (96%), and knowledge of foreign languages (67%) were important when recruiting for their companies. Almost 50% of companies with considerable international business identified knowledge of foreign languages as the most important skill for the future.
#####The results by volumes are distributed as follows:
* Volume A: Countries
* Volume AA: Groups of countries
* Volume A' (AP): Trends
* Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
* Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
* Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
* Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
