Labour Market Outcomes for College and University Graduates, 2010 to 2019. Technical Reference Guides for the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP). Catalogue No. 37200001

Each year, Statistics Canada releases data on the labour market outcomes of college and university graduates using data from the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP). Statistics Canada has developed the ELMLP in collaboration with the provincial and territorial ministries of education, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), and other stakeholders. The ELMLP allows longitudinal integration of administrative data related to education with other data sources to provide anonymized, customized datasets for analytical purposes. The data used for the calculation of graduate outcome indicators are derived from the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) and selected tax variables from the T1 Family File (T1FF) and the Administrative Personal Income Masterfile (APIM). Using both PSIS and tax data, ten graduating cohorts from the 2010 to 2019 calendar years were derived for the 2023 release.
