Accountability in two-year college vocational education assumes that colleges have knowledge of students' goals while they are attending college and have the capacity to follow-up on students to determine whether those goals were achieved. One measure of goal achievement is employment or further enrollment in fields in which students have been trained. Over the past several years, a Vocational Education Statewide Student Follow-Up System (SSFS) has been designed, tested, and implemented in California so that such information can be gathered and reported. The SSFS project was built upon previous statewide follow-up research, using simplified procedures and data processing methods. The SSFS requires data to be collected from students while they are still attending classes and 6 months to a year after they leave the college. Various follow-up reports can be generated by the system, including reports of the employment status of students by program and by special needs category; of the names and addresses of employers of former students; of the frequency with which program classes were completed by students; of students' evaluation of the skills taught through the instructional program; and of student comments. Of the 106 California community colleges, 48 have participated thus far, providing data from over 38,000 students representing over 140 programs. By June 1987, the SSFS is scheduled to be fully functional at 26 to 30 of these colleges. The SSFS report includes sample data from the 1984-85 classroom survey report and 1985-86 follow-up survey.
