In the Fall and Spring Semesters of each academic year, Career and Life Planning (CLP) sends a graduate survey to both the most recent graduating class, and the class which graduated five years earlier. We have had an approximate 50% return rate, and hope for higher returns in the future.
The responses have been encouraging.
- Between 70% and 89% of each year's graduating class are employed full-time within one year of graduation, and between 4% and 29% of each year's graduating class attended graduate school during the year following graduation.
- 48% of the class "five years out" had obtained a graduate school degree or continuing professional certification.
- Between 76% and 100% of each year's graduates express satisfaction with their current employment or graduate school program.
NEC graduates continue to be part of our educational community by participating in CLP panel discussions on the world of work, and by offering advice and job leads to students and other graduates. Click on any of the links below for more insight into how our alumni are connected to CLP.
