This sentence uses hiragana

しばらく **あと** で雪【ゆき】の中【なか】から見【み】つかる人【ひと】も多【おお】くいます

_Many people are found in the snow a while later._

so I thought this sentence might also be read with **あと**

大学【だいがく】を卒業後【そつぎょうご】、海外【かいがい】で働【はたら】きながら英語力【えいごりょく】を養【やしな】った

_After graduating from university, she worked abroad to develop her English
skills._

<https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASPCK4VJFP7ZUTIL06K.html?iref=comtop_Edu_05>

but this word seems to be a fixed three kanji term (wwwjdic):

卒業後 【そつぎょうご】 after graduation

Could this sentence possibly be read this way, or is a reading of **あと**
grammatically out of the question?

大学【だいがく】を卒業後【そつぎょうあと】、海外【かいがい】で働【はたら】きながら英語力【えいごりょく】を養【やしな】った

question
readings parsing
when is it あと and when is it ご?
後 is read as ご when it's directly attached to a noun, and as あと when it's not.

Therefore you would have to write 卒業の後 in order for 後 to be read as あと.
