The survey results, released by the bureau on Thursday, found that the 2022 batch of local graduates performed the best in terms of work attitude and information technology literacy, followed by language proficiency.
They scored higher than 3.50 on a five-point scale in nine major aspects, indicating their performance was better than “generally meeting employers’ required standard”.
“The overall work performance score of the graduates is 3.75, showing that they met and sometimes exceeded the employers’ required standard,” said the bureau, which has been conducting the survey since 1998.
“This is also the highest score obtained in such surveys over the years.”
