Abstract	A 1981 follow-up study of graduates and former full-time students from 1977-78 was conducted by Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) to determine the effectiveness of MHCC vocational programs in preparing students for employment and/or continuing education. Graduates were defined as associate degree or certificate recipients and non-graduates were identified as former students who completed at least 12 units during a quarter in 1977-78 and did not return in Fall, 1978. A questionnaire, mailed or administered by telephone, sought information on major program; objective in attending MHCC; continuing education at MHCC or other educational institutions; transfer credit; satisfaction with advising, training, and placement; employment status; relevance of job to MHCC program; income; and satisfaction with services offered at MHCC. Reported findings are based on responses from 431 graduates and 477 non-graduates. Vocational majors accounted for 79% of the graduate respondents and 44% of the non-graduate responses. Findings indicated that the majority of graduates and non-graduates were employed in jobs related to their MHCC programs and were satisfied with their training and employment. Continuing education was reported by 33% of the graduates and 48% of the non-graduates. Data tables and the survey instrument are included in the report and 1981 results are compared to a 1977-78 institutional study of the same subjects. (KL)
