CTE Outcomes Survey: Background

• Piloted with fifteen California Community Colleges in 2012

• Collaborative effort among community college consortia, the Chancellor’s Office, the RP Group, and Santa Rosa Junior Collegeo It all started at a CCCAOE conferenceo Modeled primarily after Cabrillo College’s Completer/Leaver Surveys

• Dual purposes:o Provide insightful information for local program improvemento Collect statewide data for documentation of CTE outcomes

• Practitioner-Driven Efforto Statewide meetings, conference calls, collaborationo All methodology, implementation and survey questions vettedo Use survey to collect data and information not available elsewhereo Report format developed in response to practitioner needs


CTE Outcomes Survey: Methodology

Survey Distribution• 3 Modalities: e-mail, then US mail, then phone calls• Survey conducted approximately 1.5 years after completing/leaving

Sample (2016)• All students included who met the criteria

o By 13/14, had either earned a vocational award of 6+ units OR earned 9+ CTE units AND did not enroll in more than 5 units in 14/15

Data• Chancellor’s Office MIS data wherever possible• Local data supplement (student contact information)• Survey response data


CTE Outcomes Survey: Primary Purpose

The big questions…

• Are our CTE students employable?• Do they find jobs in the field in which we trained them?• Do they see an increase in income?

…in other words, was the program worth it? Are we justified in offering it?

And…• The CTEOS data set, which includes many MIS data elements,

can be used for many other purposes
