What are the chances that graduates will find work upon leaving university? And will what they find be consistent with the studies they completed? How long before they can expect a stable contract? These are the questions that students and families ask themselves and to which the authors of the volume seek to provide an answer, starting from this strange paradox: we are one of the European countries with the lowest number of graduates and, at the same time, the demand for graduates from the job market is much lower than abroad. After outlining an overall picture of the Italian university system, the issues related to the job search are discussed: waiting times, the marketability of the new degrees, job insecurity, salaries, and internships as a tool for entering the workforce. Finally, there are several suggestions for the key players—students, universities, and businesses—so that the country’s human capital, and with it its competitiveness, is neither wasted nor underestimated.
