| Abstract | As part of a program of graduate follow-up studies, Macomb Community College (MCC), in Michigan, regularly conducts surveys of graduates or certificate earners 1, 3, and 5 years after their departure from the college. For the 1-year follow-up of the class of 1993-94, surveys were sent to all 2,808 alumni requesting information on characteristics, current employment/educational status, salaries, and perceptions of MCC. Study findings, based on responses from 838 former students (29.8%), included the following: (1) 45% of the respondents indicated that they had attended MCC to prepare for a job, 33% for transfer credit, and 16% to improve skills, while 53% indicated that they had fully achieved their objective; (2) 85% were employed, with 61% employed full-time and 19% employed part-time; (3) 47.9% were employed in clerical/sales jobs, 16.8% in management/professional jobs, 11% in service jobs, and 7.5% in blue collar jobs; (4) 54% indicated that their positions were directly or closely related to their coursework; (5) 34% felt that their MCC education was very useful, 36% somewhat useful, 9% not too useful, and 5% not at all useful; (6) 71.7% were satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs; (7) the mean hourly salary for males was $14.82, compared to $11.64 for females; (8) 72% said that their courses were of direct benefit with respect to their career plans; (9) 32.8% indicated that they had transferred to a four-year college; and (10) respondents gave MCC coursework a mean rating of 3.77 for preparing them to continue their education. Includes comparisons to findings from studies conducted the previous 5 years. The survey instrument is appended. (KP) |
