SCPS Alumni Survey Employment Profile

We closed the alumni survey at the end of August and are now tabulating results from that study. Here is a snapshot of those results.

Employment Before Enrollment

• 75% were employed full time
• 6% were employed part time
• 3% were self-employed
• 5% were unemployed but looking
• 8% were full time students
• 3% Retired, in the military, or full time homemaker

Employment While Enrolled In their Program of Study

• 58% were employed full time
• 17% were employed part time
• 2% were self employed
• 3% were unemployed but looking
• 17% became full time students
• 3% Retired, in the military, or full time homemaker

The drop in full time employed students and the percent of those who had been looking for work can be explained by the rise in full time students and a significant increase in those working part time.

Employment at Graduation

• 67% were employed full time
• 5% were employed part time
• 6% were self-employed
• 18% were unemployed but looking
• 4% Retired, in the military, or full time homemaker

An additional 9% of students found employment upon graduation while 18% — many of whom were full time students — began searching for employment in earnest. There are also twice as many graduates who pursued self employment careers. 

Current Employment Status
