Universum, global leader in employer branding, presents each year this ranking with the most attractive companies for students. In 2020, 19.085 students participated during October 2019 – April 2020.

What are they looking for?

One of the main conclusions was the increase in interest for a secure employment, a trend present in every field of study that reflects the worldwide economic uncertainty.

Regarding salaries, the average monthly expectation is $2’928.402, less than in 2019 when students expected $3’035.948

There is also a gender gap. Men expect to earn $3’064.920 while women expect $2’722.761, a difference of 11%.

“Students are conscious of the global economic uncertainty; therefore, their priority is a job that offers training to be able to outstand in an extra-competitive market”
