The major long-term goals of Finnish educational policy include raising educational standards. The article is part of a research project dealing with the labour-market position of polytechnic graduates with business and administration, technology and communications, and health care and social services degrees six month or one year after qualification. The data derive from three different surveys carried out in the relevant study fields. The findings reveal that the training received by polytechnic graduates equipped them well for finding jobs.
