The 2010 Graduate Survey Each year, Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC), through the departments of Research and Institutional Assessment and Academic Affairs, conducts a survey of all graduates from the preceeding year, to determine the status of their employment and continuing education. In 2010, this survey was redesigned also to gauge overall satisfaction with academic programming as it relates to job preparedness, as well as to examine whether experiential learning was a factor in the employability of our graduates. The new survey was administered through the college’s Center for Democracy and Humanity via the AmeriCorps Job Ready Program in an effort to allow MWCC to measure the effectiveness of programmatic and staff efforts to help students achieve their individual career and educational goals. It is also used by students to investigate trends in the job market regarding the employment and/or transfer of students from particular programs. A survey for the class of 2010 was distributed to 665 graduates, who were awarded a total of 789 degrees and certificates. Students were asked to self-report on both employment and educational status as well as satisfaction with their MWCC education. Of the 308 responses by program, 246 reported they were employed, which results in an overall placement rate of 79.9%. Salaries reported were based on full-time employment only, which was designated as a minimum of 32 hours/week. In 2010, MWCC graduated 665 students. Of the students who graduated, 31% transferred to either a two-year or a four-year institution. The total overall transfer rate of 31% is based on the 665 total graduates reported by the National Student Clearinghouse. The National Student Clearinghouse is a database that tracks students who continue their education following graduation; MWCC is a participating institution. Of the 31% of graduates who transferred to another institution, 1% (8) transferred to a two-year institution and 30% (197) transferred to a four-year institution We are committed to facilitating each student’s transition from the classroom to the workplace. The Graduate Survey serves as an important tool for faculty, admissions and professional staff to effectively advise students who are exploring their career options and major fields of study, as well as for those students entering the job market.

Educational Outcomes Graduates overwhelmingly reported exceptional rates of preparedness with regard to the educational outcomes surveyed. Responding graduates did, however, indicate some outcomes for which they felt inadequately prepared. Those areas include preparation of students to become public speakers and preparation of students to become engaged in politics and civic life.
