Likewise, with businesses increasingly engaged sustainable development issues, students will need SDG-related skills align job-market requirements. Here, we examine relationship between master graduates' employability presence type of SDGs curricula. We run series logistic regressions where use three different model specifications: (i) curriculum an ECTS above mean, (ii) related specific class SDG (well-being, environment, economy, governance), (iii) SDG. Further, consider aspects employability: having job, job coherence (i.e. match one's field study), employment quality salary). For this purpose, collected data from 5,784 master's graduates at University Bologna 2017. derived measures 2020 AlmaLaurea have three-year time lag graduation. Generally, find that who attended courses content achieved occupation or skill match. At grouped level, categories impact working outcomes. instance, more economy area odds being employed, finding job-skill match, getting salaries. addition, single goals were studied by showing effects work, earning salary.
