Abstract	A study of the 1989 graduates of postsecondary vocational-technical programs in Montana was designed to provide insight into how graduates selected the schools, their level of satisfaction with training and student services provided while they were in school, and information on their present employment and plans for the future. Survey packets were mailed to 1,292 graduates of 9 participating schools in February 1990. The response rate was 44 percent after 2 follow-up contacts. Among the findings were the following: (1) almost half, or 48 percent, of the graduates chose their school for preparation for a job to be obtained; (2) an additional 23 percent chose it to improve existing skills; (3) 87 percent of the respondents felt that their course work had been of direct benefit in meeting needs of future career plans; (4) 23 percent indicated they had not used financial aid services; (5) 39 percent had not used counseling services; (6) 37 percent had not used job placement services; (7) 31 percent had not used learning laboratories or tutorial services; (8) 50 percent were employed full time, 18 percent part time, 15 percent were continuing their education, and 10 percent were unemployed; (9) of those employed, 61 percent indicated their job was directly or closely related to their training; and (10) 55 percent indicated that they were satisfied with their jobs. (The report includes 25 data tables and the survey form.) (CML)
