Abstract: This report examines the factors influencing graduate employability in Europe, with a particular focus on the role of higher education institutions (HEIs). The empirical analysis combines data from the Eurograduate Pilot Survey 2018 and the European Tertiary Education Register (ETER), covering seven European countries and two graduate cohorts (one and five years post-graduation). The study assesses three key employment outcomes: employment status, salary, and skill-job match. Through multilevel analysis and clustering methods, the report explores how HEIs contribute to variations in these outcomes, considering factors such as size, funding, and research activity. The findings emphasise the significance of HEI characteristics in shaping graduate success, providing valuable insights for policymakers, universities, and students in a rapidly changing labour market.
