A project was undertaken to develop and field-test new methodologies for collecting follow-up and placement data on completers of Miami-Dade Community College (MDCC). Strategies used in the study included exploration of such nontraditional data sources as in- and out-of-state private university transfers, state university system tapes for all academic quarters, and Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) files; a reexamination of the existing right-to-privacy act and existing company disclosure policies; and development of a new research instrument that was designed to collect data suited to institutional needs. This instrument, which was called the Employer Evaluation Scale, was pilot tested with a sample of 131 employers. Contact with 10 in-state private institutions yielded data for 436 MDCC transfers, and 7 out-of-state universities showed a total of 268 MDCC transfers. It was discovered that INS files are available only to federal agencies. The pilot test of the Employer Evaluation Scale revealed that whereas company disclosure policies tend to inhibit data collection, employers' interpretations of existing privacy legislation tends to further data collection. The determination as to whether state university system tapes will be available for distribution is still pending. (The 14 appendixes to this report include the revised version of the Employer Evaluation Scale, a survey of former students, various project forms and correspondence, and comments by employers for program consideration.)
