European Graduate Tracking Initiative (EGTI)

The initiative aimed to monitor the pathways of students and graduates across the EU by collecting and analysing comparable and standardised data on employability, lifelong learning, and social inclusion, thereby providing a harmonised European overview of post-university trajectories. Main activities included designing quality assurance and methodological frameworks for graduate tracking systems, supporting the collection of comparable data across Member States, and analysing results to identify good practices and disparities to inform higher education and vocational education policies. The initiative also aimed to provide reliable information to policymakers, universities, and European institutions to improve knowledge of post-training pathways and strengthen graduate employability and inclusion.
