Skills That Increase Graduates’ Value
The article Labour market outcomes of business school graduates: the role of university skills analyzes how specific university‑acquired skills shape the labour‑market outcomes of business school graduates in Thailand. Authors Ondřej Dvouletý and Kevalin Setthakorn show, using data from 2013–2022, that analytical, accounting, computer and presentation skills significantly increase the wages of bachelor‑level graduates. The study further confirms that the highest earnings are achieved by graduates who have founded their own business, while the lowest wages are found among those employed in the public sector. The research also reveals a strong link between job satisfaction and income, underscoring the importance of high‑quality preparation during university studies. The authors emphasize that university‑developed skills represent a key factor in long‑term employability and professional growth. For entrepreneurship students, the article serves as a valuable guide by clearly identifying which competencies hold the greatest market value and how they can shape future career trajectories. The study also demonstrates the importance of systematic graduate tracking as a tool for innovating entrepreneurship education programs.
