To determine employment outcomes for graduates of the 1993-93 academic year, the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) undertook a study of outcomes by examining state unemployment insurance wage records. The analysis determined that for all 23 colleges in the system, 63.6% of graduates were employed by a Virginia business or industry at the end of 1993. Other findings included the following: (1) 43.8% of VCCS graduates were employed in service industries, 20.7% in retail trade, 12.6% in manufacturing, 6.4% in public administration, and 5.2% in finance, insurance, and real estate; (2) colleges with the highest percentages of employed graduates were Blue Ridge at 77.66%, J. Sargeant Reynolds at 74.71% Central Virginia at 74.68%, and Wytheville at 73.42%; (3) colleges with the lowest percentages of employed graduates were Mountain Empire at 54.37%, Northern Virginia at 53.74%, and Eastern Shore at 52.94%; (4) a further analysis of employees by type of employer revealed that 19.4% of the graduates employed in the service industries were employed in health services, the largest percentage; (5) VCCS program clusters employing the largest number of graduates were business at 1,513, public service at 1,427, and health at 1,215; and (6) the highest median salaries went to graduates from the health ($26,948), engineering and industrial ($23,396), and public services ($19,792) divisions.
