Career Services surveyed the previous academic year graduates and organized the data to provide Northwest stakeholders with a near accurate view of “first destination” employment and continuing education statistics. The data reported is six months after graduation (industry standard). Methodology Information Collected Graduates are initially asked to verify general demographic information. All changes are noted in the University’s database software for future interac- tions with them as alumni clients. In the second section of the survey, candidates share their post-graduation status (employed, continuing education, seeking employment or other). If the graduate indicates an employed status, he or she is asked to indicate the job title, name and address of employer and starting salary. Graduates continuing their education are asked to disclose the program of study and institution they plan to attend. The “other” category includes individuals actively choosing to neither seek employment nor continue their education. These graduates are frequently participating in post-graduation internships. Career Services continually attempts to contact all “seeking” to offer job search assistance. The final section of the survey is a collection point for the Alumni Office. The graduate self reports each activity or organization he or she was involved in while attending Northwest. Data Collection Method The placement information contained herein was obtained through an extensive six-month process. The process was initiated prior to “cap & gown” pick-up with an email asking graduates to complete an online survey. A hardcopy document is available at "cap & gown" and supplemented with another email to on-line only graduates and those not participating in the graduation ceremony. For those graduates not captured at commencement and for those who had previously indicated they were seeking employment, a follow-up email is sent at four months. If no response is received by six-months post graduation an effort is made to connect via two telephone attempts. An email is also sent to the faculty advisor in the event the new graduate has shared post-graduation data with him. At this time, any students not responding are not calculated into the report. Data Analysis Undergraduate and Master degree data were analyzed separately. The data is further divided by college, department and major. Totals are calculated for each major, department and college for the entire academic year. In accordance with FERPA guidelines, graduate responses are reported without disclosing the individual’s identity.
