In 2021, a tracer study was conducted to assess how alumni of the programme—formerly known as AMID Young Professional—have progressed in their careers. The findings show that 79% remain employed in the field of international cooperation and sustainable development. Alumni particularly value the programme for its blend of academic depth and hands-on experience, rating it an average of 7.8 out of 10. Many see themselves as ‘change agents’ committed to a fairer world. For employers, the programme offers access to motivated young professionals with up-to-date knowledge and a strong network.
The study also highlights areas for improvement, such as the gender pay gap and the need for more equitable collaboration between organisations in the Global North and South.
