Tracer Studies 43% > FIND WORK IN 3 MONTHS Most of the individuals (76%) hold a permanent contract, while 24% hold a temporary contract position. The temporary position varies in length, with less than half (47%) having a contract for more than a year, while 16% for less than 3 months. Whether temporary or contract, from those that are employed, 90% of them are doing a job in the field that they studied. However those that do not get the jobs in the field that they studied have to take the job they can get . *Source: SSACI (2016):Tracer Study of the Transition of NCV Students from TVET Colleges to the Labour Market” ** Source: Centre for Development & Enterprise (2013): “Graduate unemployment in South Africa: A much exaggerated problem” Of the 66% that indicated what they earned before tax, about half of them (32,5%) earn more than R15000/month NC(V) graduates average <R3000 p.m. in first year of work University graduates range R11’000 p.m. (B.A. or B.Com.) -R18’000 (B.Sc.
