Summary:
The purpose of this study was to perform a graduate survey of technology students utilizing a design model so as to produce an employability index (E.I.) that would indicate relationships existing between the graduates' prior experiences and current employability. It was intended to explore relationships between variates that exist in the graduates' educational experiences and the ultimate achievements of the graduate in terms of employment status and job responsibility. This research indicates the particular traits and factors that produce the greatest correlation with employment success. It also indicates apparent deficiencies that may exist in the graduates' overall educational experiences. It was felt that there was a need for a study design that would employ a statistical methodology in comparing individual employability data to performance data derived from official records. In this manner the more salient elements of the graduate's academic and prior experience profiles were compared to post-baccalaureate performance.
