The University of Toronto had a score of 89.5 out of 100. The universities were scored on partnerships with employers, graduate employment rate, employer-student connections, alumni outcomes and employment reputation.

“Each of the universities[…]has demonstrated an ability to produce graduates with the ‘soft skills’ required for the modern workplace. Given the fierce competition for graduate roles around the world, students should be seriously considering how their university can prepare them adequately for full-time employment, by connecting them with global employers and ensuring they develop the necessary skills and knowledge,” an excerpt on the report reads.
