Displaced Workers Successfully Reenter the Workforce: Postgraduation from a Community College
Ghilani, Mary E.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v32 n8 p573-581 Aug 2008
The purpose of this study was to determine how well former employees at a television glass manufacturing plant were able to find employment in a new field of study following graduation from a local community college. The majority of participants were able to find reemployment, albeit at a lower salary. In addition, information was obtained regarding the level of satisfaction with participants' new jobs and perceived barriers faced while looking for employment.
