Grad FactsGrad FactsLabour Market Trend Information on the WebAttempting to accurately predict future labour demands is a complex task. One way of identifying future opportunities is to examine labour market trends. Two sample sites, one targeting the broad market and the other the university sector, are provided. Graduate Careers Australia (GCA) conducts the Graduate Destinations survey research every year, publishing its findings in a series of reports; an executive summary of the survey, GradFiles , is available to download from this site.
