Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) from Scottish Colleges: 2016-2017
Employment and earnings outcomes for those successfully completing a Higher National Certificate (HNC) or Higher National Diploma (HND) course at Scottish college in 2012-2013 and who go on to employment, with no further enrolments in tertiary education.
Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD)
Table 6 shows median total earnings by SIMD Quintiles (Q1-5) for those who completed HNC or HND courses at college. Individuals from Q4 had the highest median earnings of £16,200. The lowest earnings were seen for individuals from Q1 (the 20% most deprived areas), with median earnings of £14,800.
The differences in earnings between adjacent quintiles is relatively small across most quintiles, with the largest median earnings gap of £700 seen between Q1 and Q2. Further information on SIMD quintiles is available in the 'Data Quality' section of this release.
