A project was conducted to determine (1) what former telecommunications technology students of Skyline College (California) are doing now; (2) students' perceptions of how well telecommunications technology met their educational needs; (3) what advanced skills courses students feel they need; and (4) whether assessment test scores, mathematics courses completed, or level of education could be used to predict an applicant's success in the program. Background information was obtained and questionnaires were sent to the 365 students who had taken all or some of the telecommunications technology courses. Responses were received from 115 former students. The average age of respondents was 30 years when enrolled in the program; about one-fourth were female. The study found the following: (1) 57 percent of the respondents are currently employed in the telecommunications industry--an increase of 58 percent over the number of respondents who were working in the industry before entering the program; (2) about one-half of the respondents said they completed one or more industry training courses after leaving Skyline College; (3) 64 percent of respondents felt that they received an employable skill and 59 percent said the program resulted in improved job mobility; (4) 51 percent said they had received job placement assistance--they were especially appreciative of the job fair; (5) former students said they learned best by hands-on laboratory courses, then demonstration and lecture, and they thought more hands-on experience was needed; and (6) respondents would have liked to have a variety of other technical courses, especially courses in switching theory, managing a telecommunications system, and microwave technology.
