Short country survey on employability

Late 2007/early 2008, the employability working group conducted a short informal survey among the members of the Bologna Follow-up Group (BFUG) on the issue of employability.

The survey questions

1. What are the main challenges for your country in terms of employability? (eg Is graduate unemployment a problem?  Are there restrictions on access to certain jobs?  Is there a careers and guidance service?) What would help you most as an output from this working group?
   
2. Is there a dialogue in your country between higher education institutions and employers?  If so, at what level does this take place – national, regional, institutional etc?  What sort of issues does it cover?  
   
3. Can you provide two examples of good practice in your country in relation to any of the themes to be covered by the report?
