SINGAPORE — The proportion of polytechnic students who found full-time permanent jobs after graduation rose to a three-year high of 59 per cent in 2022.
This was up slightly from 58.2 per cent in 2021 and 52 per cent in 2020, as employment statistics continue their rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic, data released on Friday showed.

This was comparable to the 2021 figure of 92.2 per cent, and higher than 2020’s 87.4 per cent.

The salaries of health sciences graduates went up the most over the three-year period, from $2,650 in 2021 to $2,854 in 2022.
