Cambrian College Graduate Employment Report

The Cambrian College Graduate Employment Report is an employment picture of Cambrian Colleges 2010-2011 graduates one year after graduation.
Cambrian Colleges Student Employment Services conducted a survey of Cambrian College students who graduated in spring 2010, fall 2010, and winter 2011 in order to gather employment data about these graduates approximately one year after graduation. The Graduate Employment Survey was conducted over a six-week period using the Provincial Graduate Results as a basis. Employment-related data was the only information gathered.

Methodology
Cambrians Student Employment Services conducted the survey by telephone and by email from May to July 2012. The graduates who were contacted were asked to answer questions about their employment status, their work location, and their salary. If a graduate could not be reached personally, messages were left. (Each graduate was called or emailed a minimum of five times). After the initial survey was completed, College faculty and program coordinators assisted in contacting graduates that the Employment Services staff could not reach. Student Employment Services set a deadline of mid-July 2012 for responses to be completed. Survey information was entered into an Excel spreadsheet; data analysis began in early August, and statistics became available in September 2012.
