Looking beyond campus life, it’s fascinating to see how higher education connects to real employment outcomes. In this episode focused on Madina, اسأل المدينة shares a clear snapshot of graduate hiring rates across local universities and colleges, drawing on a national report from the National Observatory for Work about graduate employment in the Saudi labour market.
The figures are based on graduates from 2022, with tracking extending until 2023. The video then ranks institutions according to their employment rate percentages—helping viewers understand where Madina’s educational institutions stand within the wider Kingdom.
Why graduate employment rates matter
Graduate employment rates offer a practical lens on how effectively studies translate into opportunities. They can help prospective students, families, and job-seekers ask meaningful questions: Which institutions are producing graduates who are finding work? How does Madina compare nationally?
According to the video, the data draws on national reporting and uses rankings by hiring outcomes for graduates entering the Saudi job market.
Madina’s university and college rankings for graduate hiring
Below are the specific rankings and percentages mentioned in the video for institutions in Madina. These are presented as national rankings (i.e., across the Kingdom), based on graduate employment performance for the cohort tracked from 2022 to 2023.
- Prince Mugrin University (جامعة الأمير مقرن بن عبدالعزيز): 10th in Saudi Arabia with an employment rate of 55%.
- Taibah University (جامعة طيبة): 46th in Saudi Arabia with an employment rate of 24%.
- Islamic University in Madina (الجامعة الإسلامية بالمدينة المنورة): 54th in Saudi Arabia with an employment rate of 11%.
- Al Rayan Colleges (كليات الريان): 55th in Saudi Arabia with an employment rate of 10%.
What the numbers suggest about Madina’s education-to-work pathway
The standout figure shared in the video is Prince Mugrin University, ranked 10th nationally and reporting the highest employment rate among the institutions listed at 55%. This indicates a strong employment outcome for that particular cohort, at least within the scope of the reported dataset.
Meanwhile, the other institutions shown—Taibah University (24%), the Islamic University in Madina (11%), and Al Rayan Colleges (10%)—appear at lower national rankings in the same employment-rate comparison. Together, they offer a broader view of how different study pathways and institutional profiles may translate into hiring outcomes, based on the data provided.
Data timeframe: 2022 graduates tracked to 2023
Importantly, the video states that the dataset focuses on graduates of 2022, with follow-up extending to 2023. That means the employment rates reflect outcomes over that monitoring period, not necessarily immediate or long-term employment across all years.
Turning insights into next steps
If you’re planning education decisions, career planning, or simply want to understand Madina’s wider opportunities, these rankings can be a useful starting point. They help frame questions such as: What support exists between study and employment? What kinds of programmes align most closely with market demand?
Practical questions to ask when researching study options
- How are graduates supported in internships, training, or job placement?
- Do programmes align with roles that employers recruit for locally and nationally?
- What outcomes have been reported for recent cohorts (where available)?
- Are there links with industry or recognised pathways into the workforce?
