3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Missouri Department of Elementary and Education (DESE), through the Division of Career Education, requires that all community colleges conduct a 180-day follow-up survey on all occupational graduates. This includes Ozarks Technical Community College (OTC) postsecondary graduates of Associate of Science (AS) degree, Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree, and Certificate (CT) programs and secondary graduates who attended the OTC Career Center their junior and/or senior year and graduated in Spring 2011 from their district high school. The survey collects data from graduates that show whether students are employed in a related or non-related degree/certificate or training area; whether students are continuing education in a related or non-related degree/certificate or training area; whether students are in the military in a related or non-related degree/certificate or training area; or whether students are not employed for various reasons. Methodology The OTC 180-Day Follow-Up Survey of Graduates, conducted by the Career Employment Services office, was mailed to 602 post-secondary graduates whose degrees or certificates were conferred in the Summer, Fall, and Spring terms of the academic year. A similar survey was also mailed to 402 OTC Career Center secondary students who graduated in the Spring term of the academic year and were enrolled in various career and technical education programs. The first mailing was sent in November, followed by one additional mailing in December to non-respondents. Mailing addresses were obtained through the Computer Services department and the OTC Career Center office. Where possible, addresses were updated and surveys resent. The survey, designed to incorporate the statistical needs of DESE and OTC, was mailed to one thousand four (1004) Allied Health, Technical Education, and Career Center graduates as verified by the offices of the OTC Registrar and the OTC Career Center. Graduates were given the option to mail back their completed survey in a self-addressed envelope or access the online survey. Every effort was made to locate or contact students who did not respond to the first survey through a second survey, followed by a series of telephone calls, s, and requests from faculty and staff. Limitations Survey results represent the opinions, experiences and feedback of 88% responders, with 12% of the graduates as non-responders, and which indicates that findings are not necessarily representative of the entire graduating class and should therefore be generalized and interpreted with caution and reported only with reference to the surveyed population in most circumstances. As data are disaggregated, the number of students and program analyses becomes smaller and generalization becomes even more problematic. Results One hundred forty-five (145) post-secondary graduates returned the survey, after two mailings, for a response rate of 24%. Forty-nine (49) secondary graduates returned the survey, after two mailings, for a response rate of 12%. Therefore, four hundred fifty-seven (457) post-secondary graduates (76%) and three hundred fifty-three (353) secondary graduates (88%) required a minimum of three or more contact attempts. In total, all attempts resulted in an 88% survey completion rate. 3

4 Further Academic Enrollment Graduates One hundred forty-one (141) post-secondary graduates (23%) reported continuing their education at a two-year or four-year college or university. Seventy-four (74) graduates (52%) of these respondents indicated they were currently enrolled in a two-year college, with 95% of those graduates continuing at Ozarks Technical Community College. Sixty-seven (67) graduates (48%) reported continuing their education at a four-year college or university including such institutions as Cox College of Nursing (7%), Drury University (6%), Missouri State University (46%), St. John s College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Southwest Baptist University (6%), and the University of Missouri (12%). Graduates One hundred fifty-three (153) secondary graduates (38%) reported continuing their education at a two-year (133 students) or four-year (20 students) college or university. One hundred twentyeight (128) students (96%) of the 133 students who continued further studies at a two-year college enrolled at Ozarks Technical Community College in a related (51%) or non-related (49%) program of study. Graduates in the Workforce Overall, 465 of the 602 post-secondary graduates (77%) are currently employed, with 369 of the 465 employed graduates (79%) reportedly working in employment related to their degree or certificate. salaries, as reported to the Career Employment Services office, ranged as low as $19,344 to as high as $62,400, providing an overall average salary of $32,049 among all graduates working in their career field. Graduates Comments Most graduates were gracious in their praise of the experiences and education they received while pursuing their degree(s) as a student. The quality of instruction was highly regarded and faculty members were credited with student success. Recommendations for improving experiences focused on better administrative service, curriculum, and programs with a focus on more real world applications. Summary Students pursuing further education, and the success of graduates in or entering into jobs related to their program of study, are important measures of an OTC education. Many graduates expressed that their OTC experience prepared them well for furthering their education and for their current jobs. Data from completed surveys is used to produce information for external and internal reports and can be used as supporting information in determining the instructional effectiveness and continuing improvement of curriculum of OTC programs and as a reference guide for those faculty and staff who work with students in an advising and career counseling capacity. 4
