ATRACK (“Absolvent:innen-Tracking”, graduate tracking) is a register-based full survey of all graduates and dropouts from Austrian higher education institutions which is carried out on behalf of a consortium consisting of public universities and universities of applied sciences under the leadership of the University of Vienna. The data enables the statistical analysis of career starts and paths of all higher education graduates and dropouts.
ATRACK can be used to evaluate the labour market status, gross salary of employees or the economic sector (ÖNACE) of the workplace according to demographic (e.g. gender, age) or study-related characteristics (e.g. type of study, ISCED 2013 fields of education and training) on certain reference dates before or after the students graduated/dropped out. The sources of data are the base registers of the Register-based Census and the Register-based Labour Market Statistics.
