Follow-Up Study of Fiscal Year 2004 Career and Technical Education Program Graduates
Illinois Community College Board
This report is an important Illinois Community College System accountability initiative aimed at strengthening college program offerings. Data were obtained from responses to a standardized survey. The information was provided by graduates of selected programs regarding the effectiveness of their college experience and documents program outcomes. The survey instrument addresses attendance objective, education status, employment status, salary, employment start-up, geographic location of employment, and satisfaction with employment, as well as services and components of the educational program completed. Satisfaction ratings by graduates reflect the combined percentage of respondents who were satisfied and very satisfied with a survey item. When reviewed at the local level, this information has implications for colleges as they develop proposals for new programs and perform program review. Colleges use the career and technical survey information to stay aligned with the changing job market and help gauge the employment and compensation outcomes of graduates. Part I of the report provides a statewide overall summary of survey outcomes. Part II includes an in-depth analysis of survey results according to specific program areas for colleges to use in reviewing their programs during the coming year. The Appendices contain data tables derived from the results of the survey. Appendix A presents a summary of responses by college and response rates by program area, Appendix B provides information by survey item, Appendix C presents data by both college and program, and Appendix D provides enrollment and completion trend data on nursing. (Contains 1 table, 4 appendices, 42 figures, and a bibliography.)
