Results of a statewide follow-up study involving 27,663 fall 1974 first-time students enrolled in occupational/career programs at all Illinois public community college districts are reported. Highlights indicate: the top objective for enrolling was preparation for employment in occupational/career area (56.2%); a large majority of former students obtained jobs (83.5% for first year graduates, 82.5% for second year graduates), with a small percentage unemployed (5.8% for first year graduates, 2.9% for second year graduates); students completing one to two years had a median salary $90 per month higher than students completing one year or less; graduates and non-graduates generally were either satisfied or very satisfied with present jobs (81% and 76% respectively); 60% obtained jobs in their community college district; 52% obtained jobs on their own; a large majority of employed graduates found occupational/career courses either helpful or very helpful in present jobs; over one out of four were continuing their education in some way within a year of leaving school; 63% of full-time enrollees were still enrolled in fall 1975, while less than half (45.8%) of part-time students were still enrolled in fall 1975.
