- LinkedIn, ilk kez yayımladığı Top Colleges 2025 listesiyle üniversiteleri mezunların uzun vadeli kariyer çıktıları üzerinden sıraladı.
- Metodoloji; işe yerleşme, staj ve işveren talebi, kariyer başarısı, ağ gücü ve bilgi çeşitliliği olmak üzere 5 eşit ağırlıklı sütuna dayanıyor.
- Listenin zirvesinde Princeton University yer aldı; liste, “hangi okullar yatırımı gerçekten geri döndürüyor?” sorusuna veri temelli yanıt veriyor.
Profesyonel iş ağı LinkedIn, 2025 için ilk kez hazırladığı Top Colleges (En İyi Kolejler) sıralamasını yayımladı. Liste, geleneksel üniversite sıralamalarından farklı olarak okulların mezunlarının uzun vadeli kariyer başarısını temel alıyor.
Değerlendirme; işe yerleşme, staj ve işveren talebi, kariyer başarısı, ağ gücü ve bilgi çeşitliliği olmak üzere beş eşit ağırlıklı sütundan oluşuyor. Sonuçlarda, güçlü mezun ağı ve yüksek istihdam performansıyla Princeton University zirvede yer aldı.
LinkedIn’in Metodolojisi (Özet)
- İş Bulma (Job placement): 2019–2024 mezunlarının aynı yıl içinde tam zamanlı işe veya lisansüstü programa geçiş oranı.
- Staj ve İşveren Talebi: Mezun olmadan staj yapma oranı ve işverenlerin (InMail vb.) talep sinyalleri.
- Kariyer Başarısı: Mezunların girişimcilik veya C‑suite deneyimi oranı.
- Ağ Gücü (Network strength): Mezunların birbirleriyle ve öğrencilerle bağlantı yoğunluğu.
- Bilgi Çeşitliliği: Bölüm/alan ve edinilen benzersiz beceri çeşitliliği.
Neden önemli? Üniversite seçimi hem akademik hem de finansal bir karar. LinkedIn verilerine göre iş ilanlarının önemli bir kısmı diploma şartı aramasa da, güçlü ağ ve staj deneyimi mezunların iş bulma ve terfi hızını ciddi biçimde etkiliyor.
