The collection of graduate outcomes data is an important initiative spearheaded by the Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills. We collect outcomes data based on nationally accepted standards dictated by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).
The demand for evidence of student success and employment outcomes has never been greater in higher education and our team aims to inform both internal and external stakeholders – contributing to the overall success of our students and graduates. We coordinate two distinct collection efforts, outlined below.
Undergraduate First Destinations
The goal of this survey is to assess the employment, and career-related outcomes for students obtaining undergraduate degrees. Below are links to infographics that outline additional key information that has been collected and disseminated by the Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills in past years. Each infographic displays the “Positive Outcomes Rate” which is defined as the percentage of graduates who fall into the following categories: Employed full time, Employed part time, Participating in a program of voluntary service, Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, Enrolled in a program of continuing education, and those not seeking employment or continuing education. This information may come directly from the graduates via, for example, a survey method. Relevant data, however, may also be provided by employers, or obtained through other sources (e.g., LinkedIn profiles, other online sources, fellow graduates, or parents).
