I do like the idea of having an annual report on what recent grads do in their first year post-graduation. However some may say that the initial enthusiasm for the report quickly fades when one reads that approximately 200 programs provided data for the report. Unfortunately, this seems an extraordinarily small, self-selected sample which is highly unlikely to be representative of college/university outcomes as a whole.
The members of the
National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), the creators of the report, are listed
here, and do not appear to be separated by
colleges and
employers.
I find the concept of
knowledge rate, rather than
survey response rate, to be fascinating: Research sources may include employers, social media...
Cyber-stalking, much?
