The MRU career tracking system helps to monitor collect and analyze data about University graduates registered in the State Social Insurance Fund Board of the Republic of Lithuania (SODRA) According to each study programme the system allows MRU and social partners to analyze labour market tendencies to collect and organize information about the situation in the labour market salary trends and so on

In 2013 the University began off ering Masterrsquos Degree students an optional elective ldquoEntrepreneurship and Self-Employmentldquo to ensure that graduates are able to create jobs and know how to set up new businesses The course provides knowledge of law management and psychology

Statistics from the Lithuanian Labour Exchange indicate that about 99 of MRU graduates are successful in fi nding a job or creating their own job position
