Work Package 4: Develop monitoring tools for quality assurance –graduate profile survey (exploitation)

(Wp. Leader-National University of Education of Arts- NUAE)

The WP will focus on the statistical data production side of the system. 1) Set up of the first Vietnamese Graduate Profile survey. The report will be prepared starting by the graduate dataset of a defined period and statistical analysis will be carried out following the experiences of AL and other EU partners in the field of Internal Quality Assessment processes. 

 2) After an efficient population of the data base it will be also possible to design a Survey on the graduates job conditions, the first survey of this kind in the country. The new survey will be designed and prepared for the subsequent start in the project follow up phase (interview planning, field phase, data collection data treatment editing). The relevance of the report will depend on the starting quality of the DB information (graduates up-to-date addresses, phone numbers, e-mails).

The quality of data in the system depends on the level of involvement of stakeholders. The more graduates will be motivated to keep up-to-date their data (spurring employment opportunities) the more the quality of the survey will be high. The raise of interest for the database by recruiters is an asset also for data production efficiency aimed to produce information for HE policy making but also to social research. Raising the interest of the user is of course a long lasting process. For such reasons this WP will be an opportunity to establish a common methodology useful in the future for even more relevant ad meaningful researches.
