The Vestlandet Candidate Survey 2022

The Vestlandet Candidate Survey 2022 is a questionnaire survey aimed at candidates who completed their studies at the University of Bergen, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, or the Norwegian School of Economics in 2020. The project is commissioned by Sammen Career and is carried out by the analysis and research company ideas2evidence.

This is the ninth candidate survey that Sammen Career has conducted, and as before, the focus of the survey has been on the candidates' adaptation to the labor market, how the transition from study to working life has been, as well as the candidates' assessment of work life relevance. The survey also looks more closely at what skills the candidates feel their studies have given them, as well as the mobility of the candidates in the years after graduation - especially with regard to geographical mobility.

New for this year's survey is a set of questions related to the candidates' sociocultural background, as well as the extent of, and facilitation for, further and continuing education.
