1. Executive Summary

1.1 Background and Objectives

In December 2015, Leger Marketing Alberta Inc. (Leger) was contracted by Alberta Advanced Education (AE) to conduct and report on the Alberta Graduate Outcomes Survey, Class of 2013/14 (GOS). The findings from this study will help inform strategic planning and results reporting.

A total of 17,665 surveys were completed (37.8% gross response rate, based on total completes/total population of Alberta graduates in 2013/14, and a 49.0% valid response rate, based on the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association (MRIA) formula (Total Completes / (Total Sample – Total Invalid1)), including:

 9,575 completes by phone  8,090 completes via web

A total of 15,653 surveys have been completed for 25 publicly-funded post-seocndary institutions with a 38.2% gross response rate and a 48.1% valid response rate, including:

 8,615 completes by phone  7,038 completes via web

At the system level, the survey for the public institutions has a margin of error ±0.6 percentage points, at the 95% confidence level (see Section 7.1 for survey results for publicly-funded post-secondary insittutions).

The target participants for the publicly-funded institutions report are the 2013/14 graduates from 25 institutions in Alberta. A combination of census and stratified sampling approaches were used and the graduates were offered the option to complete a telephone survey or internet survey based on their preference.

A total of 2,012 surveys have been completed for 71 participating Private Vocational Training (PVT) institutions with a 35.2% gross response rate and a 51.0% valid response rate, including:

 960 completes by phone  1,052 completes via web

Based on the number of completed interviews, at the system level, the survey for PVT institutions has a margin of error ±1.8 percentage points, at the 95% confidence level (see Section 7.2 for survey results for PVT institutions).

The target participants for the PVT’s report are all 2013/14 graduates from 71 participating PVT institutions in Alberta. Participation was voluntary.2 A census was required for all

1 Invalid sample cases include: not in service, fax, invalid/wrong number, respondent deceased and duplicate number. 2 Participation of Alberta’s Private Vocational Training Institutions in the GOS survey is voluntary, therefore survey results from participating institutions/graduates may not represent the entire PVT graduate population. Throughout the report,

participating institutions and the graduates were offered the option to complete a telephone survey or internet survey based on their preference.

1.2 Methodology

The target participants for this study are 2013/14 graduates from publicly-funded credit parchment programs in Alberta, and all 2013/14 graduates from 71 participating PVT institutions in Alberta. For PVT institutions, a census was administered to collect all the data. For the publicly-funded institutions, a census approach was used for institutions with less than 1,500 graduates, and a stratified sampling approach was used for larger institutions with more than 1,500 graduates. AE developed a detailed sampling plan to achieve survey accuracy targets by institution, field of study, credential type and program. Given the geographic mobility of graduates after completing their programs of study, achieving sufficient sample sizes to support meaningful analysis at these levels requires comparatively high response rates for the relatively smaller institutions, programs and fields of study.

Leger conducted all the telephone interviews from its Computer Aided Telephone Interviewing (CATI) call centre. The CATI interviews were conducted using Voxco Virtual Call Centre (VCC) software while the Computer Aided Web Interviewing (CAWI) interviews were conducted using Confirmit software. Both platforms are compatible with each other as they are able to run simultaneously while commuting between each other regardless of whether a respondent has completed the survey by telephone or by web. Both platforms are capable of providing real time data collection updates, call dispositions and survey results for the combined telephone and web interviews.

A survey pre-test was administrated between March 2nd and March 8th, 2016. After reviewing the pre-test results, full fielding began on April 5th, 2016, with minor revisions to the questionnaire and the Data Collection and Reporting (DCaR) verification system.

1.3 Questionnaire

Although AE made various revisions to the questionnaire, including the removal of a few questions and modification of skip patterns, this year’s survey questionnaire, both the telephone and web versions, remained comparable to the questionnaires used in previous iterations. Therefore, a consistent approach was used to collect data for these longitudinal studies.

1.4 Questionnaire Specifications

The average questionnaire lengths were 10.52 minutes for telephone interviews, and 17.34 minutes for web responses.

1.5 Summary of Call Outcomes (Telephone Survey)

any conclusions drawn regarding “2013/14 PVT graduates” mean the conclusions for graduates from those participating institutions.

A total of 9,575 telephone interviews were completed, representing 20.5% of the total sample of Alberta graduates invited to participate in the study. Furthermore, 8,615 of these telephone interviews were completed with publicly-funded post-secondary institution graduates, and 960 interviews were completed with PVT graduates.

Refusals account for 11.9% of the total sample of Alberta graduates, including 12.9% from the public institution sample and 9.3% from the PVT sample. Interviewers were unable to make contact with 22.8% of the total sample, including 22.6% from the public institution sample and 20.1% from the PVT sample. Call-backs with a specified date and time represent 2.3% of the total sample, including 3.1% from the public institution sample and 3.2% from the PVT sample. Almost 1% (0.6%) of the graduates for whom telephone contact attempts were made, requested to complete the survey online and were provided with that opportunity, including 0.7% from the public sample and 0.3% from the PVT sample.

1.6 Summary of Web Outcomes

A total of 8,090 web interviews were completed, which represents 17.3% of the total sample of Alberta graduates invited to participate by email. In addition, 7,038 of these web interviews were completed with graduates from publicly-funded post-secondary institutions, and 1,052 web interviews were completed with PVT graduates.

2. Survey Methodology

The research involves contacting graduates of post-secondary programs approximately two years after they completed their studies. This particular target population is highly mobile and presents numerous obstacles that must be overcome when implementing a data collection strategy. Notably, customized strategies must be adopted to overcome the challenges arising from the possibility that the graduate no longer lives at the address the post-secondary institution has on file, and may have a different telephone number and/or e-mail address.

Participating post-secondary institutions forwarded their graduates’ contact information to Leger through a secure file transfer process, using AE’s Data Collection and Reporting System (DCaR). Leger was given access to DCaR and reviewed the files to ensure the base records of the files provided by the institutions matched those provided by AE prior to the start of the survey.

Prior to the pre-test, Leger and AE established a multi-faceted data collection methodology to conduct research with graduates. The data collection methodology encourages graduates to complete a telephone survey or an internet survey based on their preference.

There are five main components to the research plan to maximize survey response:

1. Make initial contact with 2013/14 graduates and offer the choice of completing the survey by phone or online; 2. Invitations are provided to the graduates via email, live interviewers over the phone, and by leaving a voicemail message; 3. A toll free number and web survey link are included in all communications to allow ease of access to the respondent; 4. Telephone and email follow-up reminders are utilized for each respondent; and 5. Thorough searches are made to find updated contact information for any graduates who cannot otherwise be found due to their contact information on file being out of date.

2.1 Sample Preparation

The sampling frame for the Graduate Outcomes Survey was based on a full initial sample of 41,636 students who graduated in 2013/14 from 25 publicly-funded institutions and 5,723 students who graduated in 2013/14 from 71 participating PVT institutions, for a total of 47,359 students. Sample files were provided to Leger by AE and institutions in full.

Duplicate records were identified to ensure each graduate was only able to complete the study once. In cases where a graduate completed more than one program, the program was chosen based on their highest level of earned accreditation. In cases where multiple accreditations were earned at the same level, the program was chosen based on a random selection process. Upon removal of duplicate cases (657 cases from the public sample only), the full sample was reduced to 46,702 cases (40,979 from public institutions and 5,723 from private institutions).

Leger received template files from AE through DCaR for all graduates in the study’s scope. These files contained graduates’ basic demographic information, Alberta Student Number, student IDs, as well as their program details. Graduates’ personal information including names, phone numbers, mailing addresses and email addresses were provided separately by post-secondary institutions. The contact information provided included, where available, a street address with the city and postal code, up to two email addresses, and up to two telephone numbers. Leger ensured that the records provided by AE and the institutions matched in terms of the template information.

2.2 Sampling Plan and Accuracy Targets

For public institutions, the target audience for this study was 2013/14 graduates from credit parchment programs. A census was required for all institutions with less than 1,500 graduates, and a stratified sampling approach was conducted with graduates of larger institutions (with more than 1,500 graduates) to ensure that institution, field of study, credential type and program requirements were all met.

AE developed a detailed sampling plan for the larger public institutions to achieve the following survey accuracy targets:  By institution, at the 95% confidence level, ± 5% margin of error.  By credential type by sector, at the 95% confidence level, ± 5% margin of error (Certificate, Diploma, Degree/Applied, Degree/Bachelor, Degree/Master, Degree/Doctoral).  By field of study and by sector, at the 95% confidence level, ± 10% margin of error (program bands).  By program, at the 90% confidence level, ± 12% margin of error (specific programs).

For PVT institutions, a census approach was used and Leger was expected to make reasonable attempts to contact all PVT graduates.

2.3 Survey Programming

For the 2016 iteration of the survey, AE used the Triple-S survey interchange standard, as implemented in 2014, for the survey’s data definitions used in the survey. The Triple-S specification language describes the survey metadata, including question text, response codes and response descriptions, the location of individual data items within the record, valid ranges for responses and formats for variables. This specification language provides a definitional structure that allows data to be easily translated from one platform to another, while retaining important definitional metadata. Triple-S specifications are stored in XML format files.

AE initially developed the Triple-S specification for the survey questions and data in a fixed-width data file format and provided it to Leger for use in programming the survey. Leger set up procedures to automatically translate the Triple-S specification to the programming language used in Leger’s CATI/CAWI system. Additional programming work was conducted to adapt the survey structure to Leger’s programming requirements that were not defined in the original Triple-S specification (e.g., complex skip patterns). AE provided updated versions of the Triple-S specification when corrections to the specification or revisions to the survey instrument were undertaken. Any revisions were then translated into changes in the CATI/CAWI programming.

The survey’s programming was tested and verified at multiple levels to identify any programming errors, including improperly functioning skip patterns. Testing was conducted by Leger’s programming staff and by multiple members of Leger’s project team. Minor programming corrections were made where necessary in preparation for the survey field test.

Leger developed procedures for extracting survey data from CATI/CAWI into the format and structure defined by the Triple-S specifications. This allowed for regular validation of the dataset using AE's DCaR validation system.

3. Questionnaire Preparation

3.1 Questionnaire Length

The average questionnaire lengths were 10:52 minutes for GOS telephone interviews and 17:34 minutes for GOS web responses.

3.2 Questionnaire Content

The majority of the questionnaire consists of questions used in previous iterations of the Alberta Graduate Outcomes Survey. Order and wording of the questions was kept relatively consistent to ensure comparability to previous results. There were revisions made for this year’s survey, which included changes in question wording and sequence, removal of questions and the introduction of new questions. These revisions were made by AE to help achieve their objectives, as well as to help improve questionnaire logic and flow. Even with these revisions, the majority of this year’s results are comparable to those of previous years.

3.3 Questionnaire Versions

There are two versions of the GOS questionnaire: CATI (telephone) and CAWI (web). The primary difference between the two questionnaire versions is that since this is a study that has been conducted over a lengthy period of time, various pre-codes for the CATI survey have been defined providing interviewers with the opportunity to select one or more of these pre-coded responses (that are not read aloud), saving coding time. Any responses that did not fit within the pre-coded list were recorded verbatim by the interviewers and then later coded by Leger staff into the pre-coded categories.

In the CAWI survey, the graduates typed in their answers verbatim without any pre-codes. Once the verbatim responses were completed, Leger staff coded the responses into the pre-coded categories. This ensures the surveys are consistent, as in each case the graduate cannot see or know the pre-codes. ‘Don’t know,’ ‘no response’ and ‘not applicable’ response categories were provided in both survey versions.

3.4 Questionnaire Complexity

The GOS questionnaire is complex as the sample information (e.g. institution, program) and responses from previous questions (e.g., salary) were inserted at various points in the survey. In the salary section there is an opportunity for interviewers/ graduates to move back and forth between previous and current questions to ensure response consistency and validity. There are also a number of skip patterns where certain questions are only asked of graduates who provided specific responses to preceding questions. The most complex skip patterns occurred in the questionnaire’s salary section where graduates decided on which basis (e.g., yearly, hourly) they would prefer to disclose their salary, and formulas were employed as necessary to compute yearly estimates. Leger worked closely with AE to confirm the skip patterns and estimation formulas used in this section.

3.5 DCaR Verification

Leger utilized AE’s DCaR system by sending simulation data files for GOS, before the launch of the pre-test, to ensure that all skip paths and limits were properly programmed. This process proved very effective in verifying the survey programming and resulted in no major errors in survey data when it was sent for verification.

3.6 Questionnaire Programming

Once both questionnaires were finalized and approved by AE, Leger programmed the surveys for CATI (telephone) and CAWI (web) using VOXCO and Confirmit’s Interviewer software. One programmer was assigned to complete the programming for both surveys to ensure consistency across the two versions.

Once programming had been completed, the surveys for both CATI and CAWI were thoroughly tested by members of the research team to ensure language, skip logic and consistency were accurate for each survey based on the approved questionnaires.

For this year’s survey, AE developed a DCaR system where the programmed survey could be uploaded and validated to ensure all skips were programmed correctly. This was the first year that Leger had experience with the DCaR program and it was found to be very useful in verifying the survey programming.

Leger performed data extracts on a weekly basis to allow for regular validation of the data using the DCaR system, and issues/errors that arose were dealt with as they occurred.

4. Pre-Test

4.1 Pre-Test Objectives

Prior to data collection for the survey, Leger conducted a pre-test of the questionnaire with the goal of completing interviews with at least 90 respondents, including a minimum of 10 interviews each with graduates of:

 University of Alberta or University of Calgary,  One other university,  Two Baccalaureate and Applied Studies Institutions,  One northern Comprehensive Community Institution,  One Independent Academic Institution, and  One Polytechnic Institution (NAIT or SAIT), and  Two PVT Institutions.

Prior to conducting the pre-test, Leger generated a fixed-width3 simulation data file based on the survey programming, and verified it through AE’s DCaR validation system. Revisions to the programming were made as necessary to obtain an error free result.

During the pre-test, Leger released a sample of 910 graduate records for use and completed the pre-test with 125 graduates. The number of sample records utilized allowed for the completion of the required number and composition of interviews.

For web interviews, results were categorized as ‘complete’, where the respondent successfully completed the survey and clicked the completion arrow provided at the end of the survey, or ‘touched’ where the respondent successfully completed the survey, however, did not click the final arrow to be recognized as a ‘complete’. A ‘touched’ respondent is still recognized as a complete entry as long as the final question was answered.

The pre-test was conducted between March 2nd and March 8th, 2016, with the following results attained:

3 Data in a fixed-width text file is arranged in rows and columns, with one entry per row. Each column has a fixed width, specified in characters, which determines the maximum amount of data it can contain. No delimiters were used to separate the fields in the file.

4 The pre-test loaded sample is 628 cases fewer than the final loaded sample because Red Deer College data was not loaded. Red Deer College needed ethics approval before uploading students’ contact information.

5. Data Collection

Leger’s data collection systems provide compatible telephone and web based interviewing. At any point in the data collection process, results for both telephone and online interviews were monitored and reviewed. The systems are able to communicate with each other and recognize the graduate regardless of which response option he or she chose. In this manner, duplicate surveys were avoided.

All telephone interviewing was conducted from Leger’s CATI stations located within Canada.

Leger's highly trained data analysts programed the questionnaire into CATI and performed extensive testing on the program to ensure accuracy. Interviewers input data directly into an electronic data file while on the telephone with each respondent. Each question appeared on the interviewer's screen, accompanied by a list of eligible responses. The CATI program automatically presented the next question and included automatic skip patterns, eliminating improper response and skip errors that can occur when using paper surveys.

Leger’s data analysts randomized the sample and set up quotas for each institution, field of study, credential type and program. Interviewing was conducted daily, and targets took into account holidays or events that may impact response rates. All sample and target programming was verified to ensure accuracy.

CATI further enabled Leger to track response rates, calling statistics and sample sizes. In this way, the progress of the data collection and the reasons for non-response were closely monitored.

Survey emails, including instructions, were sent to all graduates for whom email addresses were provided in the sample frame, and 86.9% of the emails were successfully received.

The amount of effort towards surveying increased throughout the initial data collection period, as it began with a soft web launch to further assess changes that had been made to the questionnaire, programming and validation process after the pre-test. The soft web launch (released 15% of the public sample, and all of the valid private sample) was used to ensure that all revisions ran smoothly and no errors arose. By the second week of full fielding, all valid public and private samples were released to the web portion of the study and this proved to be very efficient and effective.

On April 20th, 2016, due to the high response rate through the web, Leger put a pause on the telephone portion of the study, with the exception scheduled call backs, respondents with no emails on file, or with emails that bounced back, to focus more on these specific situations. On May 9th, 2016, all samples, except for some graduates of the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary and the University of Lethbridge, was released to the telephone portion of the study. These institutions were excluded from the sample at this point because they are larger, have large populations and are typically easier to make contact with and attain completes. Therefore, by delaying their release to the telephone

portion, Leger was able to focus on the harder to reach populations before allocating more time to these larger institutions. On May 17th, 2016, the remaining public institution sample was released to the telephone portion, and the remaining PVT institution sample was released on May 31st, 2016. The private institutions have statistically larger combined participants than AE originally anticipated for the study, therefore a more web-focused data collection approach was necessary to complete the study within the contracted budget.

By delaying some components of the study’s telephone portion, Leger was able to maximize the number of survey completions by web, allowing interviewer time to focus on graduates who preferred to complete the study by telephone and helping reach those who may not be using the email address on record.

To further promote web completions, Leger left a voice message, when voicemail was reached, with instructions on how to complete the survey online. Therefore, even graduates who did not answer their phone were able to complete the survey. The toll-free number was also left to allow the graduate to complete the survey by telephone if they preferred. The same unique ID was provided in the voicemail to match the survey responses to the graduate record.

There were minimal incoming calls and emails to Leger and AE (as far as Leger is aware), regarding questions or concerns from graduates and employers, and this reflects positively on both the methodology and survey instruments. Initially, the main reason for incoming calls was graduates who wanted to complete the study by telephone. As the survey progressed, more graduates contacted Leger to opt out of survey participation.

Due to the recent evacuation of Fort McMurray, on May 6th, 2016 all graduates residing in Fort McMurray and nearby areas were removed from the sample and all communications with these graduates were halted, and remained on hold for the remainder of the data collection period. The following postal codes were affected, for a total of 529 graduates (1% of the total sample). Successful contact was never achieved with 394 of these graduates:

 T0V  T0H  T0P  T9H  T9J  T9K 5.1 Call Centre / Web

Leger conducted all the telephone interviews from its CATI call centre. The CATI interviews were conducted using Voxco Virtual Call Centre (VCC) software, and the CAWI were conducted using Confirmit software.

Both software platforms are capable of running simultaneously, and provide real time data collection updates, call dispositions and survey results.

5.2 Briefing of Interviewers

A complete project briefing on the study was administered to telephone interviewers prior to data collection for the pre-test.

5.3 Achievement of Targets

Upon completion of data collection the following results were achieved:

 For public institutions with less than 1,500 graduates, attempts were made to contact all graduates. The target was to complete the survey with 45% of graduates in each of these institutions.  The 45% target was achieved for 6/17 institutions (list of margin of errors based on number of completes is also provided for accuracy analysis in Chapter 7).  For public institutions with 1,500 or more graduates, a representative sample of graduates were contacted in accordance with the pre-determined confidence levels:  At the institutional level, targets were achieved for 8/8 institutions (95% confidence level, ± 5% margin of error).  At the credential type level, targets were achieved for 9/11 credential types in these institutions (95% confidence level, ± 5% margin of error).  At the program band level, targets were achieved for 17/22 field of studies in these institutions (95% confidence level, ± 10% margin of error).  At the program level, targets were achieved for 61/469 specific programs (90% confidence level, ± 12% margin of error).  For private institutions, a census approach was used to reach a target of 2,000 completes.  2,012 surveys were completed (list of margin of errors based on number of completes is also provided for accuracy analysis in Chapter 7).

5.4 Maximization of Response Rate

In cases where the graduate was not available to complete the telephone survey at the time of the interviewer’s call, a call back was scheduled with a specified date and time for completion.

Leger’s senior research staff monitored the interviews and reviewed the pre-test results. As a result, Leger was able to guide interviewers through any questions that were proving difficult for respondents, such as salary questions and hours worked, ensuring that these questions flowed properly and correctly, which in turn helped respondents complete the input. Few issues were found during the monitoring process.

Based on the requirements set by AE, quotas were set and met where possible. In situations where the number of graduates in a subset was too small to realistically complete enough interviews to meet these targets, as many interviews as possible were conducted with these groups. To maximize the number of groups that could be reported on, the highest priority was assigned to small groups where a higher response was

needed. For the most difficult and high priority cases (for the purposes of fulfilling quotas), a single interviewer was assigned to specific graduates to locate and make contact with them. By assigning a single interviewer to a single graduate’s case, rapport could be more easily developed (e.g., through voicemails) and the case could be followed more easily. Interviewers made notes in the case contact record to help support future calls from themselves or other interviewers.

5.4.1 Language Barrier Cases

In the course of the survey, a number of cases were identified as "language barrier cases”, or contacts with a person who did not speak English fluently enough to complete the survey over the telephone. Leger made attempts where possible to communicate with these respondents, however, when the survey was completed, 204 language cases remained unresolved.

5.4.2 Directory Sourcing

Directory sourcing was used for the portion of the sample where all provided phone numbers were identified as invalid, including wrong numbers (household or business), not in service, fax/modem or no valid phone number provided.

Directory sourcing involves extracting all survey records that qualify as “attempted but invalid” (not in service, fax, invalid/wrong number and/or duplicate number). Efforts were made to match these cases to public phone directory databases and phone directory records that had sufficient similarity to the cases being searched and were uploaded to CATI.

6. Data Cleaning/Analysis and Reporting

6.1 Data Cleaning

To ensure the surveys were completed correctly, Leger’s data analysts examined the results of each survey in detail after the first night’s results were available. On a continual basis, and also immediately following completion of the data collection, data analysts and the data processing department cleaned the data thoroughly using DCaR for data validation on a weekly basis. The cleaning and validation ensured that:

 All closed-ended questions were within the allowable or logical ranges (allowable ranges were confirmed with the client in any circumstance, where they were not obvious from the questionnaire);  Main Job Hours – High: > 80  Main Job Hours – Low: between(.001 and .999)  Other Job Hours – High: > 80  Other Job Hours – Low: between(.001 and .999)  Main Job Income – Low Income: 1 to 5,000  Main Job Income – High Income: > 150,000  Other Job Income – Low Income: 1 to 100  Other Job Income – High Income: > 100,000  Total Income – Low Income: 1 to 5,000  Total Income – High Income: > 200,000  Too old for K-12: (AgeCalc >= 20)  Dependents: DG103 > 5  Skip patterns were followed correctly;  The data was complete, except where it was intentional and within client expectations; and  Information was consistent and logical across questions, with no contradictions in the data.

Some of the data cleaning procedures were completed concurrently with data collection, with a thorough final check performed at the end once all interviewing had been completed. Detailed checks were also made following the pre-test and initial interviews (e.g., first hundred completes) to ensure the survey was working effectively prior to the bulk of the data collection.

6.2 Preparation of the Final Dataset

Leger’s professional data analysis team produced analysis tables (frequencies, summary statistics and cross-tabulations) that presented total results, as well as results based on different sub-segments of the population as required by AE, using statistical testing to identify significant differences between groups. These tables enabled analysis of the data based on the sub-segments identified when the project was set up.

Data analysis included analyzing the combined satisfied and very satisfied ratings as well as just the very satisfied ratings. Results have been compared to data from previous years where needed, as done in previous years’ reports. The identified sub-segments of sector, field of study, credential type and various demographic characteristics have also been used in the analysis of responses. All responses were tested for significance at a 99% confidence level.

6.3 Coding Open-Ended Responses

Asking respondents open-ended questions provides valuable insight into the reasons for their opinions. For open-ended questions, the online respondents were responsible for entering their response, in their own words, into a text box within the survey. For telephone interviews, interviewers entered the open-ended responses that the respondents stated verbatim. Coded responses appeared in the report, although original and uncoded answers were always preserved in the original survey data file.

Uncategorized open-ended responses, however, can be difficult to interpret, particularly when large sample sizes are involved. To address this, Leger’s specialized coding department grouped similar responses into categories by assigning appropriate codes to each open-ended response. This allowed the data to be interpreted and compared across different groups of graduates, and action to be taken based on the responses. To ensure consistency in methodology across the different cohorts for this tracking study, an existing code-book/analysis was used for reference when categorizing open-ended responses for the study’s current iteration.

6.4 Final Data File

Clean, labeled and DCaR verified data files, in SPSS and CSV, were prepared and delivered to AE using the survey’s previous iterations to produce overall files for the combined surveys.

8. Initial Analysis

Some initial analyses were run to diagnose any potential biases inherent in the dataset, and to identify possible strategies for improving the dataset’s accuracy and reliability. Note that these analyses were conducted only for surveys completed by graduates from publicly-funded post-secondary institutions.

8.1 Non-Respondent Demographics

The demographic attributes of non-responders to the survey, as provided by participating publicly-funded institutions, were compared to the attributes of survey respondents to identify any potential sources of non-response bias.

8.2 Gender

The proportions of responding and non-responding graduates are consistent among females and males.

Figure 8.2.1: Gender Distribution Among Respondents and Non-Respondents Gender Non- Complete Respondents* Respondents** Sample***14 Female 9,412 14,962 24,374 60.1% 59.1% 59.5% Male 6,239 10,361 16,600 39.9% 40.9% 40.5% x2 (1, n) = 4.443a, p=.03515

8.3 Age

The survey’s respondents were older than non-respondents, on average.

Figure 8.3.1: Average Age among Respondents and Non-Respondents Age Respondents Non-Respondents Complete Sample16 15,653 25,324 40,977 Mean age. 29.63 28.41 28.87 Median age. 26.00 26.00 26.00 n, t = 14.932, p<.001.

14 Five missing cases due to unidentified gender in the sample file. 15 The Chi Square statistic compares the tallies or counts of categorical responses between two (or more) independent groups. (note: Chi square tests can only be used on actual numbers and not on percentages, proportions, means, etc.). 16 Two missing cases due to no date of birth in the sample file.

8.4 Credential Types

Very slight differences are found among responding and non-responding graduates based on credential types.

8.7 Conclusions

Any differences between responding and non-responding graduates found between gender, age, credential type and field of study are within reasonable17 levels of variation.

Given that the differences are relatively small, the response rates and margins of error obtained for the Graduate Outcomes Survey are sufficient to provide confidence in the accuracy of the survey findings.

17 Given the large sample size, chi-square testing will show even a slight difference of 1% as significant. However, when looking at the overall percentage results of respondents versus non-respondents a difference of 1% or less is considered within a reasonable range.

9. Telephone vs. Online Completions

Among respondents who attended publically funded post-secondary institutions, 8,615 completed the survey over the telephone and 7,038 completed the survey online. Demonstrated below are the numbers of completions obtained using each method over the time the survey was administered at weekly update intervals.

Comparative analyses were run to determine whether any meaningful differences exist between respondents who used each survey mode. It should be noted that the large sample sizes involved with the GOS allow for statistical significance even with very small differences between groups.

9.1 Demographics

Female respondents were more likely to complete the survey online, while male respondents were more likely to complete the survey over the phone.

Figure 10.1.1 Gender Differences by Completion Type Gender Telephone Online Female 4,952 4,460 57.5% 63.4% Male 3,661 2,578 42.5% 36.6% x2 (6, n) = 55.780a, p<.001

Very slight differences are found among telephone and online completes based on age.

9.3 Debts at Time of Graduation

Respondents were asked how much they owed in government-sponsored student loans, education-related borrowing from family and education-related borrowing from financial institutions. Online respondents reported higher amounts owed than phone respondents for education-related borrowing from family. No statistical difference is found among online and telephone responses for government-sponsored and education-related borrowing from financial institutions.

Note the amounts owing only reflect respondents who indicated that they used each respective source of financing. Respondents who did not use government-sponsored student loans, for example, were not included in the calculated average amount owing for student loans.

9.4 Employment Outcomes

Very slight differences are found among telephone and online completes based on employment.

Figure 9.4.1: Employment and Further Education Outcomes by Completion Type Employment Status Telephone Online Employed 6,521 5,302 75.8% 75.8% Unemployed 593 497 6.9% 7.1% Not in Labour Force 275 158 3.2% 2.3% Full-time Student 1,217 1,039 14.1% 14.9% x2 (3, n) = 13.806a, p=.003

Of those who were employed, online respondents were more likely to feel that their job was somewhat related to the program they graduated from, while telephone respondents were more likely to feel that their job was either not related, or was very related.

Figure 9.4.2: Relatedness of Occupation to Education by Completion Type Relatedness of current job to the program from which the Telephone Online respondent graduated Not related 1,250 945 19.2% 17.8% Somewhat related 1,509 1,432 23.1% 27.0% Very related 3,747 2,891 57.5% 54.5% x2 (4, n) = 42.050a, p=.001

9.5 Income

No significant differences are found among telephone and online respondents based on average income.

Figure 9.5.1: Average Income by Completion Type Question Telephone Online Average annual earnings (main job and other jobs combined) 5,025 4,174 $ 61,195.78 $ 62,234.16 n, t = -1.573, p < .116

9.6 Conclusions

Some differences were evident between respondents who completed the survey by telephone and those who completed the survey online. The most noteworthy differences were in job relatedness. It is interesting to note that no significant differences were found among telephone and online responses in regards to income.

10. Effect of Data Weighting

Data weights were calculated at the program level, using program names and program codes for the 799 unique programs offered by participating publicly-funded institutions. The formula for calculating data weights was w = wd * n/nr

Where wd is the inverse of the probability of selection, n is the number of cases included in the sample from within the stratum and nr is the number of responses received from within the stratum.

The following comparisons demonstrate the effects of applying program-based weights to the dataset.

10.1 Gender

The weighting of the dataset had little impact on male or female proportions of respondents.

Figure 10.1.1: Effect of Weighting on Gender Respondent Gender Unweighted Weighted Male 39.9% 40.4% 6,239 6,317 Female 60.1% 59.6% 9,412 9,335

10.2 Age

When the dataset was weighted, average respondent age decreased slightly.

Figure 10.1.2: Effect of Weighting on Age Respondent Age Unweighted Weighted 15,653 15,653 Average age 29.63 29.38 Median Age 26 26

10.3 Satisfaction Levels

The weighting of the dataset had little impact on respondent satisfaction.

Figure 10.1.3: Effect of Weighting on Satisfaction Levels Respondent Satisfaction Unweighted Weighted 15,555 15,554 Satisfaction with quality of teaching 3.34 3.33 15,530 15,533 Satisfaction with program 3.32 3.31 15,547 15,533 Satisfaction with overall quality of educational experience 3.35 3.34

10.4 Debts at Time of Graduation

Data weighting slightly increased the average amounts owed for student loans, family borrowing and borrowing from financial institutions.

Figure 10.1.4: Effect of Weighting on Amount Owed at Graduation Amounts Owed at Graduation Unweighted Weighted Difference 5,943 6,009 66 Amount owed for government-sponsored student loans at graduation $25,309 $25,692 $383 6,498 6,577 79 Amount owed as a result of education-related borrowing from family at $18,401 $19,062 $661 graduation 2,643 2,664 21 Amount owed for education-related borrowing from financial $15,009 $15,684 $675 institutions at graduation

10.5 Outcomes

The weighting of the dataset had little impact on respondents’ employment and further education outcomes.

Figure 10.1.5: Effect of Weighting on Employment and Further Education Outcomes Employment Status Unweighted Weighted 15,602 15,600 Employed 75.8% 75.6% 11,823 11,797 Unemployed 7.0% 7.0% 1,090 1,091 Not in Labour Force 2.8% 2.8% 433 436 Full-time Student 14.5% 14.6% 2,256 2,277

10.6 Income

The weighting of the dataset had little impact on the average income of respondents.

Figure 10.1.6: Effect of Weighting on Average Income Income Unweighted Weighted Difference 9,199 9,197 -2 Average total income $61,667 $61,465 -$202

10.7 Conclusions

Applying program-based data weighting had minimal effects on the variables assessed above. The use of data weights for the full analysis of the collected data is not likely to produce large differences in the final reported findings.

11. Observations and Recommendations

11.1 Improve Sample Quality

Although Leger has noticed an improvement of sample quality compared to when it last conducted the study with 2009/10 graduates, there is still some room for improvement, specifically in regards to providing explicit notes explaining why a graduate was selected for the survey year when confusion occured.

11.2 Notify Graduates of Study

Institutions should consider sending out notifications to graduates about the upcoming survey. This could include publishing a notice in alumni newletters/emails, on the institutions’ websites, through social media or sending specific communications for this purpose. This would further legitimize the survey and potentially increase the response rate.

An open link to the study could even be made available through these mediums where graduates could update their contact information or request to be contacted to complete the study.

11.3 Continued Growth of Private Vocational Training Institution Participation

This year’s study saw the largest participation of PVT institutions to date. The sample attained this year exceeded the predicted volume of AE, and demonstrates an upward trend in institution interest and participation.

The sample attained this year was of high quality, which is to be expected as some institutions are now in their third round of GOS participation.

It was encouraging to see continued growth in participation from PVT institutions and the sample quality improvements that come from having more experience participating in the GOS studies. Leger foresees continued participation growth among PVT institutions in coming iterations.

APPENDIX C: INITIAL QUESTIONNAIRE TESTING

A.1 Leger Comments

Based on the feedback provided by interviewers, programmers and Leger’s analyst team, few changes or recommendations were made in regards to the questionnaire and programming. There was one case where Leger requested that the skip logic for the following question be reconsidered to ensure that only those who answer ‘yes’ in question 70 get asked question 71:

70. Have you permanently relocated to a different city or town since the time of your graduation from BG105 (name of institution) ? 1.Yes 2.No  GO TO Q72 88.Don’t know  GO TO Q72 99.No response  GO TO Q72

[Note: If respondent has relocated more than once, enter where they are now]

71. Which city or town did you relocate to? [DO NOT READ] BG107 1. Edmonton 2. Calgary 3. Lethbridge 4. Red Deer 5. Grande Prairie 6. Medicine Hat 7. Fort McMurray 55. Elsewhere in Alberta (specify) [BG107_55] . 66. Elsewhere in Canada (specify province/territory) [BG107_66] . 77. Outside Canada (specify country) [BG107_77] . 88. Don’t know 99. No response

For each of the following questions Leger found through the DCaR verification process that 2013 could be a valid response in each question, however the limit was set at 1900 to 2012, and Leger requested that the upper limit be extended to include 2014.

67. What year did you last attend school in the K-12 system, not including adult upgrading? [ENTER BG102 FOUR DIGIT YEAR] 8888. Don’t know 9999. No response

69. In what year did you begin post-secondary studies, not including adult upgrading? [ENTER FOUR BG104 DIGIT YEAR] 8888. Don’t know 9999. No response

Both findings were brought to AE’s attention, and both changes were made to the survey and DCaR (verification) programming.
