Universities
The second cycle degrees generally enable the practice of a profession.
In 2001, the employment rate of university education graduates was 50.5%, but
it varied according to the domain.
The university institutions have progressively implemented various initiatives
with a view to publicising employment opportunities and assisting graduates in
finding a job.
Companies that wish to reinforce their scientific and technological potential
can hire and train young researchers with financial help from the Walloon
Region.
Hautes Écoles
Overall, school-to-work transition for the young is marked with precariousness.
It takes place progressively, often implying passage through several precarious
statuses and involuntary loss of employment, and very rarely leads directly to
a classic, full-time, stable job. The evolution of school-to-work transition is
different according to the diploma.
The institutions offering long-type higher education provide a wealth of
knowledge and know-how that is recognised by the business world. The rate of
non-employment at the end of this sort of training is low: in 2001, the
employment rate for long-type non-university higher education graduates was
61.7%, but only 28.0% for short-type non-university higher education. The
quality of long-type higher education leads graduates to aspire to recognition
of their qualifications through university education, in particular the
possibility of having access to doctorates.
