Abstract	Information derived from a longitudinal follow-up survey of students in career/technical programs in British Columbia's (BC) community colleges and institutes is provided in this report. Introductory material provides a background on the post-secondary educational system in BC and highlights study objectives, including monitoring the number of students who complete, withdraw from, or discontinue their studies; identifying reasons for non-completion; collecting student opinions on career/technical programs; and determining student educational outcomes. Chapter 2 outlines the study methodology. Chapter 3 discusses population characteristics by institution and discipline cluster. Chapter 4 presents observations from the follow-up survey within the categories of reasons for attending, employment background, discontinuance, current activity, finding employment, type of employment, assessment of post-secondary experience, future educational plans, and student comments. Chapter 5 provides observations from the study linked to returns from a survey of students entering career/technical programs. Finally, chapter 6 presents a summary of findings and implications. Appendices include detailed survey results, correspondence, cover letters used in the follow-up study, and survey instruments. (HB)
