The survey charted the perceptions and opinions of employees in personnel management in different companies regarding upper secondary education in Finland. Main themes included, among others, perceptions of how well the competence of persons who had completed upper secondary education met the requirements of working life and how general and vocational upper secondary education are appreciated. The study was commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Culture and Skills Finland. First, the respondents' own positive or negative attitudes towards upper secondary education were charted. Their perceptions of whether the need for general and vocational upper secondary education would increase in Finland over the next few years was examined. Next, the respondents described how well they think the provision of vocational education and training matched the demand of the labour market. Finally, the respondents were asked whether their company had recruited new employees in the past year, and whether these recruits had completed general or vocational upper secondary education. Background variables included the number of employees in the respondent's company, the company's industry of employment, the region (NUTS3) and type of the municipality where the company was located, the percentage of employees in the company who had general or vocational upper secondary qualifications, as well as the respondent's highest level of education, gender and age group.
