Singapore's six Autonomous Universities collectively enrolled about 81,000 subsidised students in FY2024 and produced 19,803 full-time first-degree graduates in the same year (sources: Ministry of Finance, MOE Budget 2024 statement, 2024; SingStat, Number Of Full-Time University Graduates By Sex, Annual, 2025). Each careers service supports thousands of finalists into first jobs and internships against a public benchmark. The overall graduate employment rate fell from 89.6% in 2023 to 87.1% in 2024, and full-time permanent employment dropped from 84.1% to 79.5%, published by MOE from the Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey (source: MOE, Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey 2024, 2025).
Careers services operate inside a highly graduate-intensive labour market. 43.3% of the resident labour force held a university degree or higher in 2024, and 95.9% of employed graduates aged 25 to 29 from local institutions of higher learning were in full-time employment, with 85.7% on permanent contracts (source: MOM, Labour Force in Singapore 2024, 2025). Graduate outcomes are then measured nationally through the Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey, which polls about 12,500 fresh graduates about six months after final exams and is the sector's core evidence base for whether a degree leads to work (source: MOE, Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey 2024, 2025). For a careers office, the constraint is rarely audience size, it is turning employer demand into placed finalists at pace.
Spacewalk gives your institution a private, branded careers job board for students and recent graduates, so your team spends its time on employer engagement and coaching rather than curating listings by hand.

Whether you choose to stream roles automatically, invite employers or post them yourself they are automatically matched to your talent pool
Track applications, placements and community engagement from one reporting dashboard
Unlike generic job boards, Spacewalk gives you a branded, private or public jobs marketplace your talent actually trust, with sourcing, matching and reporting running automatically in the background.
Personal data held by a careers office is governed by the Personal Data Protection Act 2012, which the Personal Data Protection Commission oversees for private-sector organisations (source: PDPC, Overview of the PDPA). Financial penalties for breaches sit at up to S$1 million or, for organisations with annual Singapore turnover above S$10 million, 10% of that turnover, whichever is higher, in force since 1 October 2022 (source: Allen and Gledhill, Increased maximum financial penalties under Personal Data Protection Act 2012 from 1 October 2022, 2022). Autonomous Universities operate under their own statutes and generally handle personal data under the PDPA framework as corporatised entities.
Employer partners posting to a careers board must also work within the Fair Consideration Framework, which requires vacancies intended for an Employment Pass or S Pass hire to run on MyCareersFuture for at least 14 calendar days and to consider Singapore citizens fairly, with no discriminatory requirements on age, sex, nationality, race, marital status or religion (source: MOM, Consider all candidates fairly before you apply for an Employment Pass, 2024). Spacewalk does not perform right-to-work checks or FCF advertising. This is context, not legal advice.
This is an illustrative scenario, not a customer story. A Singapore Autonomous University careers office stands up a branded board for finalists, invites the cohort in Semester 2 and links employer partners into a single job stream. Instead of curating listings by hand, careers advisers watch matches to each student's discipline and use application and interview activity to target 1:1 coaching. When the institution submits its annual careers report, the team exports landings by cohort rather than pulling records from four systems.
With graduate-level data. Spacewalk tracks registrations, board usage, applications, interviews and landings by cohort and discipline, so your team can show what happened to finalists rather than reporting engagement activity alone.
Because the roles are curated and employer-direct rather than re-listed from public portals. Each student sees verified, active vacancies matched to their discipline, seniority and location, with direct apply links.
Yes. Your careers service gets its own branded board, so the experience carries your institution's brand rather than a generic job site, and unlimited admin seats let faculty careers advisers work inside it.
From an employer-direct stream of verified, active roles with direct apply links, matched to each student's discipline, seniority and location. Your team can also post roles or invite your employer partners to post, but the vacancies are not scraped from job boards or aggregators.
No. Work-pass eligibility and any Fair Consideration Framework advertising on MyCareersFuture stay with the hiring employer. Spacewalk connects students to live vacancies and tracks their progress.
Personal data is governed by the PDPA, overseen by the PDPC. Voice, text and fax marketing must respect the Do Not Call regime under the PDPA, and email marketing is covered separately by the Spam Control Act.
Spacewalk supports university careers services worldwide, including careers service software for UK universities, university career center software in the United States and university careers office platforms for Australia.
Explore Spacewalk for Singapore alumni networks, the counterpart platform your alumni relations team can run for graduates once they leave campus.
