On October 14, 1993, the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges adopted a new mission and goals statement reemphasizing workforce preparedness and literacy. This renewed focus has made it more important that measures of successful workplace training be developed. Two measures of workforce outcomes are employment rates and median salary of program completers. Employment data for a cohort of 15,817 1990-91 program completers revealed that 92% of the students in the cohort were employed during the third quarter of 1991 and their median earnings, adjusted for inflation, were $3,830. One year later, 97% of the program completers were employed in the third quarter of 1992. These former students had median earnings of $4,279. Employment figures by program type indicate that technical graduates have consistently had the highest employment rate (97% in 1992), followed by vocational graduates (96%), general education graduates (96%), and college transfer graduates (95%).
