Abstract: 

Today, a major goal in higher education is the advancement of students’
vocational competences. To assess the extent to which this goal is met,
both competences acquired during university studies and later vocational
success need to be measured. In our study, we collected self‐ratings of
competences (t1) and indicators of vocational success (t2) in 210
alumni of the Freie Universität Berlin. Using structural equation models
along with this longitudinal data, we found that self‐ratings of
competences accounted for a substantial proportion of the variance in
different measures of vocational success five years later.
