National Graduates Survey(ngs) Background In 1978, Statistics Canada conducted a survey on the labour market experiences of 1976 graduates from universities and community colleges in Canada. In 1984, a similar survey, the National Graduates Survey (NGS) of 1982 graduates was sponsored jointly by the Department of the Secretary of State and Employment and Immigration Canada and conducted by Statistics Canada. The 1984 NGS expanded on the content of the previous survey and extended the population base to include completers of trade/vocational programs in addition to graduates from community colleges and universities. Since these two surveys in 1978 and 1984, a series of graduate surveys have been completed on the labour market experiences of graduates from universities and community colleges in Canada. The following is a summary of the graduate surveys conducted by Statistics Canada for HRDC.
