Abstract	This document compiles two reports from the student flow project for Hawaii community colleges. The first contains a review of previously conducted employer follow-up studies in Hawaii and in other states, selected excerpts from employer survey instruments, and a proposal for an employer follow-up study of Hawaii community college graduates. The second contains the results of the subsequent study. Employers (n=172) of 217 graduates were contracted by means of a questionnaire and asked to evaluate the effectiveness of community college programs in preparing graduates for work, to suggest how the colleges might improve their programs, and to relate their priorities regarding the importance of skills, attitudes and knowledge in preparing students for employment. Data analysis indicated: (1) 78% of the employers felt the colleges to be doing a satisfactory or good job in preparing students for employment; (2) top priority in community college education for employment was given to inculcation of positive work attitudes and habits, and effective human relations; (3) concern for improvement in basic skills was expressed by approximately one-fourth of the employers; and (4) the personal attributes of graduates were given generally higher ratings by employers than were general occupational knowledge, basic skills, and judgement and creativity. Appended are the survey instrument and breakdowns of the survey data by campus and by program. (JDS)
