| Abstract | Each year, Macomb Community College (MCC), in Michigan, conducts a study to determine the extent to which the training received by the previous year's graduates met the needs of area employers. Surveys were mailed to 305 employers for whom release of information forms were completed by the graduates in a November 1994 survey. Completed forms were received from 199 employers and responses were compared to findings from studies conducted over the previous 4 years. Study results included the following: (1) employers rated the overall training provided by MCC at 4.33 on a 5-point scale, with employers consistently giving a rating of over 4 points in each of the past 4 years; (2) 83% of employers rated work opportunities as good or very good, while 82% rated the 3-year outlook as good or very good; (3) 41.7% of the employers were from service industries; 25.6% were from manufacturing; 11.6% were from retail; 7.0% were from finance, insurance, and real estate; 2.5% were from transportation, communications, electric, gas, and sanitary services; 3% were from public administration; and 3.5% were unclassifiable; (4) on a 5-point scale, employers rated graduates' willingness to learn at 4.66, cooperation with co-workers at 4.62, cooperation with management at 4.58, personal initiative at 4.56, acceptance of responsibility at 4.53, attitude toward work at 4.51, and quality of work at 4.46; and (5) the lowest rated areas of graduate characteristics were communication skills at 4.16 and technical knowledge and problem solving skills at 4.11 each.
