Graduate Employment Tracking Survey

Company overview

Jiangsu Changzhou Technician College (Changzhou Senior Vocational School) was founded in 1960 and is a full-time public vocational institution dedicated to cultivating high-skilled talents with modern craftsmanship spirit. It operates under the Jiangsu Provincial Human Resources and Social Security Department. The college is a nationally designated key vocational school, one of the first batch of national mid-level vocational school demonstration institutions, a Jiangsu Provincial key technician college, and a pilot unit for the construction of National Vocational Training Institutes. It serves as the primary Chinese training base for the 44th World Skills Competition in Industrial Mechanical Assembly and Adjustment. The college is committed to building a high-quality talent cultivation hub in technical and vocational education and holds significant influence within the national vocational education system.

Research background

To continuously improve teaching and educational quality and optimize curriculum structure and course design, Jiangsu Changzhou Technician College places great emphasis on graduate employment performance and development trajectories. A comprehensive tracking survey of graduate employment status enables a precise understanding of key indicators such as the quality of talent cultivation, students' occupational adaptability, and employer satisfaction. This data provides essential support for the college's further strengthening of program development, deepening curriculum reforms, and improving graduate employment guidance services.

Research scope

In July 2014, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Jiangsu Changzhou Technician College to conduct a follow-up employment survey of graduates from the 2013 cohort. The survey targeted students who had completed one year of employment and covered multiple dimensions, including their current employment status, job stability and alignment, career development potential, on-the-job performance and application of knowledge and skills, evaluations of the college's curriculum, alumni satisfaction with the institution as a whole, participation in campus clubs during studies and their impact on professional competencies, as well as the effectiveness of the college's graduate employment support services. This comprehensive analysis aims to provide a holistic picture of graduate employment quality and educational satisfaction.

Expected outcomes

This study will deliver a representative and reference-worthy report on graduate employment quality, offering in-depth insights into graduate employment destinations and development trajectories. The findings will provide concrete evidence for adjusting major directions, refining course content, enhancing vocational competence development, and innovating graduate employment support mechanisms. Ultimately, the research will strengthen the alignment between teaching and industry needs, and further advance the college's high-quality vocational education system construction.
