The recently released Global University Employability Ranking 2022 also ranked University of Toronto first in Canada - and first among public universities in North America - when it comes to recruiters' opinions about which universities are best at preparing students for the workplace. Among public universities globally, University of Toronto ranked fifth for the employability of its alumni. "This ranking reaffirms that the University of Toronto is equipping students with the tools they need to thrive in their careers," said University of Toronto President Meric Gertler. "Graduates leave University of Toronto with the knowledge, experience, innovative drive and global mindset necessary to become leaders in a wide range of fields - and employers have clearly taken note." The employability ranking is based on a survey, conducted by HR consultancy Emerging, of recruiters and managers at top employers, the majority of which have more than 500 staff. Each respondent is asked to pick several universities from a list of 1,000 institutions based on employability performance. The votes are tallied to determine which schools rank in the top 250.
