The National Association of Career Colleges recently released the results of a study on career college graduate work outcomes. The survey found that 80% of employed career college graduates are working in jobs directly related to their program of study and that 60% of graduates were employed within three months of graduation. About one-third of graduates were hired by the organization where they completed an internship or practicum. “This research shows that our graduates are not only finding work quickly, but are entering sectors that desperately need skilled workers,” said NACC CEO Michael Sangster. Sangster called for the federal government to provide equitable access to federal student aid programs for career college students to help them prepare for the workforce.
