-
In 1994, Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), in North Carolina, conducted a survey of career graduates (i.e., those who had not subsequently enrolled in a four-year college or university) to determine outcomes and assess graduates' satisfaction with the college, comparing findings with outcomes from previous years. Surveys were mailed to 1,763 graduates of curriculum programs from 1991-92 and 1992-93, generating responses from 500, or 28.4% of curriculum graduates from the period, and of whom 361 were classified as career graduates. Survey results for career graduates included the following: (1) 66.7% of respondents were female, 55.4% were 31 years of age or older, and 15.6% were Black; (2) 85.9% indicated that they had reached their self-declared goals; (3) 87.7% were employed, with 87.1% employed 35 or more hours per week; (4) 55.3% held jobs which were directly related to their CPCC programs; (5) the largest group of respondents (19.7%) reported yearly salaries between $20,000 and $24,000; (6) 64.7% were satisfied or very satisfied with their jobs; (7) while most career graduates did not use CPCC services, 18.5% indicated that an instructor helped them find their job; (8) the areas of their education rated highest by graduates were teamwork, critical thinking, and sensitivity to technology; (9) the top-ranked areas related to instruction included quality of instruction, library facilities and materials, availability of instructors, and course content; and (10) compared to past graduates, respondents assigned higher scores to all CPCC service and facility areas.
