Abstract: At first we present some general facts that describe the present situation of graduates in Austria. In general one can state that transition from University to the labour market has become more complicated within the last 20 years. Afterwards the most important trends are being discussed as for example that the need for higher qualifications and life long learning is increasing. Further-more we describe the most relevant strengths, weaknesses as well as chances and threats. Despite all problems graduates have better chances on the labour market than other groups though there has to be distinguished between different fields of study. Finally the current situation is illustrated by relevant indicators.
