John 2017-18 First Destination Survey Results

Survey Administered by Raynisha Robinson, Report Prepared by Lynette Duncan, Director of Career Development Director of Institutional Research April 16, 2019

Introduction

The JBU Career Development Center surveyed all prospective JBU graduates using the JBU First Destination Survey which reports future employment and education plans. This document summarizes the analysis of the survey given to December 2017 and May 2018 graduates. The survey was administered to prospective graduates from JBU’s traditional undergraduate (TUG), online undergraduate (OLUG), and graduate (GR) programs. In 2017-18, there were 268 TUG graduates, 111 OLUG graduates, and 193 GR graduates. Employment/Grad School Rates

Internships

5

Number of Jobs Applied For

Graduates were asked “How many jobs have you applied for up this date?” If a graduate selected “None” but was already employed, they are shown as “Already Employed” on the chart.

6

Gross Salary

Graduates were asked to indicate their gross salary range. Graduates with only part-time employment are included here.

7

Purpose for Completing Degree

Graduates were asked to indicate their original purpose or purposes for completing their degree.

8

Meet Goals

Employed graduates were asked to indicate whether or not their job met their goals for after-JBU- employment.

9

Career Assistance

Students were asked if they received assistance from the Career Development Center, in their major, faculty advisor, or “other”. They could select as many as apply. In addition to the self-reported CDC usage data, we used CDC records to determine if a student participated in a CDC event in the 2016-17 or 2017-18 academic years.

10

Handshake Usage

Although not a part of the First Destination Survey, the Career Development Center collected usage statistics on Handshake. For this analysis, we analyzed Handshake usage by our 2017-18 graduates. Almost half of TUG graduates logged into Handshake at least once, but only 25% completed a profile. Login and profile-creation rates were lower for GR and OLUG graduates.

Details about Post-Graduation Status

Students were asked to select one of “Accepted a Job”, “Accepted to Graduate School”, and “Unemployed” in response to the question “Have you found employment or have you been accepted to Graduate School?” They were then asked: “What statement(s) best describes your post-graduation status? (Select as many as apply.)” The possible answers were:  Full-time Employment  Part-time Employment  Unemployed, not searching  Unemployed, searching  Full-time Grad student  Part-time Grad student  Volunteer  Military  Year of Service The students were also given space to write the name of their employer or graduate school. We found that answers to these questions were often inconsistent, e.g., a student might select “Accepted a Job” and then mark “Unemployed, searching” or “Full-time Grad student”. Another student might select “Accepted to Graduate School”, but not select “Full-time Grad student” or “Part-time Grad student”. Other students listed an employer, but selected “Unemployed, searching”.

We submitted information from all graduates to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to determine which students were enrolled in graduate school. This led to more inconsistencies with the survey— several students who indicated they planned to attend graduate school were not enrolled, and, conversely, students who gave no indication of attending graduate school were enrolled.

After cataloging all the inconsistencies, we developed the following classifications for a student’s post- graduation status.  Employed and Not in Grad School but plan to attend graduate school  Employed and Not in Grad School and have not reported plans to attend Grad School  Employed and in Grad School  In Grad School and Not Employed  In Grad School and Employment Status Unknown  Not Employed and Not in Grad school but plan to attend graduate school  Not Employed and Not in Grad school and have not reported plans to attend Grad School A student was considered “Employed” if  they selected “Accepted a Job” or “Employed” OR  they selected “Full-time Employment” OR “Part-Time Employment” OR  they listed a company name A student was considered “in Grad School” if the NSC data indicated they were enrolled in graduate school. There were 3 OLUG graduates and 2 GR graduates who did not complete the survey, but we found were enrolled in graduate school. A student is listed as “plan to attend graduate school” if the NSC data indicated they were not enrolled in graduate school, but they indicated that they plan to attend graduate school.
