Abstract	Student feedback is essential to maintaining quality and ensuring relevance in the education system. BC Student Outcomes provides that feedback by surveying former post-secondary students who took apprenticeship technical training, baccalaureate programs, and associate degree, diploma, or certificate programs. In 2016, over 28,000 former students were surveyed. This report presents key results from those surveys. The 2016 Apprenticeship Student Outcomes Survey had 2,565 respondents out of 4,787 former apprenticeship students who were eligible for the survey. Of traditional apprenticeship students: (1) 98% were in the labour force; (2) 8.5% was the unemployment rate; (3) 98% of those employed were working full time; and (4) 93% said the knowledge and skills they learned were useful for employment. The 2016 Baccalaureate Graduates Survey of 2014 graduates had an overall response rate of 45 percent, with 10,669 respondents out of 23,642 former students who were eligible to be surveyed. Of baccalaureate graduates: (1) 47% took further studies; (2) 89% were in the labour force; (3) 7.0% was their unemployment rate; (4) 82% of those employed were working full time; and (5) 72% said their job was related to their education. In 2016, there were 28,134 students eligible for the BC Diploma, Associate Degree, and Certificate Student Outcomes Survey; 14,784 participated, for a response rate of 53 percent. Of graduates from diploma and certificate programs: (1) 92% were in the labour force; (2) 8.6% was their unemployment rate; (3) 85% of those employed were working full-time; and (4) 85% said the knowledge and skills they learned were useful for employment. Of students from associate degree programs (including university transfer): (1) 80% took further studies; (2) 81% of those who took further studies received transfer credits; and (3) 74% were studying at the time of the survey. Findings from the Student Outcomes surveys are used by the Province of British Columbia for labour market analysis, policy development, and accountability. Post-secondary institutions use the data to improve programs and services; their academic and career counsellors draw on the results to advise prospective and continuing students. [The BC Student Outcome surveys are conducted with funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education, the Industry Training Authority, and from British Columbia's public post-secondary institutions.
