Employer Follow-Up. Responses of Employers of Former Telecommunications Technology Students.
Case, Christine L.
The research described in this report was conducted to (1) ascertain employers' perceptions of how well the telecommunications technology program at Skyline College (California) meets their needs; (2) determine what advanced-skills training would benefit students; and (3) provide a model for an employer follow-up study. Employers' names were obtained from 19 former students, and these employers were sent questionnaires directed to the supervisors of former students. Twelve responses were received. The results of the survey showed that the majority of employers found former students to be exceptionally able or well able for the job held. Nine employers rated the former students/employees as above average and one was rated superior. The employers noted that attitude was important in determining who was hired. As a result of the study, recommendations were made for further employer follow-up. (KC)
