2011-2012 Post Graduation Activity Report State University Career Services Center

Each year, the Career Services Center conducts a survey of CSU graduates in an attempt to learn about their employment status and post-graduation plans. The survey asks about employers, job titles, salaries and plans to attend graduate school. Despite the anonymity of the survey, respondents are most reluctant to reveal individual salary information. This piece of information is perhaps the most requested by current students and employers, so we make every effort to reassure respondents that their information remains confidential. Even so, many respondents did not provide that information in this survey.

This year, two tools were used to collect data on graduates: a surveymonkey poll of students, and a survey card completed by graduates in the bookstore. Combining the student and employer surveys, there were 574 respondents. Here are some results of the survey:

• 42% of graduates are working in a job that is related to their field. • 31% of graduates plan on attending graduate school within the next year. Of these, 43% say they will come back to CSU. • 43% of graduates plan to use the services that the Career Services Center offers to alumni.
