Initial Job Placement for JCCC Career Students, Classes of 1973-1976.
Quanty, Michael
A follow-up job placement study of the 228 persons who either graduated or left Johnson County Community College (JCCC) with marketable skills in 1975-76 produced 191 interview respondents. Findings included the following: the average age of respondents was 28 and 34% were 30 years or older; 53% were male; 64% had enrolled to acquire job skills and 36% to prepare for job advancement; 82% were currently employed in jobs utilizing program skills; 95% rated the quality of instruction at JCCC as excellent or good; and 82% of those who had participated in approved work experiences as students rated these experiences as good or excellent. A comparison of annual follow-ups from 1972-73 to 1975-76 showed that students employed in study-related jobs was above 80% for all four years, that unemployment was slightly higher in 1976, that more students were attending school and not working in 1976, and that the number of students evaluating programs as excellent or good was higher in 1976 than in previous years. Comparisons between years are also presented for instructional program areas (Data Processing, Dental Hygiene, Drafting, Electrical-Electronics Technology, Fashion Merchandising, Hospitality Management, Law Enforcement, Marketing and Management, Nursing, Secretarial Careers, Emergency Medical Technology, and Hearing Impaired Program). The survey instrument is appended. (RT)
