Graduate Employment Survey Results

The Asper School of Business - Career Development Centre conducted a telephone survey on the graduates of the 2010/2011 Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) program. Out of a class of 451 students, 304 were contacted.

Of these 304 graduates, 40 were not actively seeking full-time employment and were removed from the sample (see question 13). Therefore, the final sample size used to calculate the survey results was 264 graduates.

All n’s do not equal 264 for the following reasons:

Due to the skip pattern of the survey, not all respondents were required to answer all the questions.

Not all respondents answered all the questions.

Some questions permitted multiple responses.
