German term or phrase: Absolventenvermittlung

From document setting out grounds for divorce and child support provisions (written in DDR times).
Die Veranlassung zur Eheschließung der Parteien war …….zum anderen, da zu dieser Zeit ihre Absolventenvermittlung stattfand und sie auf jeden Fall im Kreis XXXXX eine Tätigkeit aufnehmen wollte
graduate placement? I’m not clear about the logic underlying the above reason “zur Eheschließung” (first reason was pregnancy).

English translation:placement of graduates (by state authority)

Explanation:
Eheschließung und Arbeitsplatzvermittlung hingen in der ex-DDR innigst zusammen, da Hochschulabsolventen nicht frei Ihren Arbeitsplatz wählen konnten sondern auch der Steuerung durch die Behörden unterlagen; dies zeigt sich auch an der Bezugnahme auf die Wahl eines Kreises als Arbeitsplatz. Bei geschlossener Ehe war auch die gemeinsame Haushaltsführung bei der Arbeitsplatzzuweisung zu berücksichtigen. Das ist der Hintergrund.

Explanation:
Absolventenvermittlung = graduate placement (such as teaching)

Thus perhaps the one partner had to live in a different "Kreis".
