Problem and Motivation
Problem: The Graduate Employment Survey (GES) is conducted on a yearly basis to provide insights about the job prospects about a particular course. The Ministry of Education conduct these surveys yearly for both University and Polytechnics in Singapore. However, the results of these surveys are not interactive and does not tell any trends to the reader. Motivation: As graduates to be who going to enter the job market soon, we felt that it would be interesting to look at the historical salary data to know the gauge of our expected salary, the demand in the job market and as well our position in term of starting salary among our fellow school peers. In addition, we also felt that it would be interesting to find out whether does the starting salary affects the intake for the course in that year. Furthermore, we hope that our visualizations would help students from Secondary Schools and Junior Colleges decide their courses choices with regards to its career prospects as it would be interesting to find out what are the top paid salary programmes through the year, and the changes to the market demands.
