QILT Graduate Outcomes Survey Results
The 2018 GOS National Report. The 2018 GOS was primarily conducted as a national online survey among 102 higher education institutions including all 41 Table A and B universities and 61 Non-University Higher Education Institutions (NUHEIs). A total of 120,564 valid survey responses were collected across all study levels, representing a response rate of 43.0 per cent which is a slight decrease from 45.0 per cent in 2017 but still constitutes an increase from the 39.7 per cent achieved in 2016. Graduate employment outcomes are reported consistent with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) standard model of labour force statistics. See Appendix 2 for details.
National results. In 2018, 72.9 per cent of undergraduates were in full-time employment four months after completing their degree, up from 71.8 per cent in the previous year and 70.9 per cent in 2016. This continues the steady improvement in the full-time employment rate of graduates in recent years from the low point of 68.1 per cent in 2014. This is consistent with the steady improvement in the overall labour market over the period. https://www.qilt.edu.au/docs/default-source/gos- reports/2018-gos/2018-gos-national-report- 2018.pdf?sfvrsn=a729e33c_4

Anatomy of Artificial Intelligence
9 December. 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm, Roundhouse, Anzac Parade, Kensington

But what actually is “artificial intelligence,” particularly when it’s deployed in our homes and workplaces? Encased in sleek consumer products like the Amazon Echo, we rarely consider the vast underlying network of data collection, exploitation of human labor, and physical resource extraction. All have enormous implications for society and the environment. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/kate-crawford-
