| Abstract | In a survey of 374 career curriculum graduates of Montgomery Community College in 1976, 280 indicated they were working in jobs related to their college programs. Of these, 225 (80%) gave employer names and addresses and permission to contact them. Questionnaires drew responses of 159 employers to questions about skill levels of students, employee relationships, and the influence of the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree on job responsibilities and promotion. The survey resulted in representation of 19 college career programs, with secretarial science, fire science, nursing, and dental assisting accounting for 19%, 15%, 15%, and 7% of the sample, respectively. Results showed that possession of the A.A. degree was not essential to job entry, but was beneficial to promotion and increased job responsibilities. Job preparation was judged more than adequate by 71% of employers, adequate by 28%, and inadequate by 1%. The study recommends urging employers to include the A.A. degree in job requirements for fields directly related to college programs, and asks curriculum heads to correct program deficiencies as noted by employers. The questionnaire is appended. (RT) |
