ABSTRACT
The primary mission of the Community College of Rhode Island
(CCRI) is to help students succeed in reaching their educational goals by
preparing them to enter the workforce or transfer to a 4-year college or
university. Each year, CCRI surveys the previous year's graduates as a way of
measuring success. About 1,379 members of the class of 2001 were asked to
provide information about place of employment, job title, salary, and status
of continuing education. Also, 1,126 (81.7%) responded to the survey. The
report indicates 517, or 45.9%, of graduates were employed full-time; 126
(11.2%) were employed full-time and going to school part-time; 106 (9.4%)
were employed part-time, 20 (1.8%) were unavailable for employment; 55 (4.9%)
were unemployed and searching; 112 (9.9%) were in school full-time; and 190
(16.9%) were in school full-time and working part-time. More than 93% of
respondents were employed, continuing their education, or both. The report
breaks down employment and transfer status into 26 different programs and
departments, ranging from Business Administration to Liberal Arts and
Technical Studies. Average salaries reported are based on a 40-hour week and
are reported only for education-related employment. Research instrument
appended.

Look at the people around you. As you go through a typical day, notice the
teachers in the schools and day care centers, the police officers and firefighters in
your neighborhood, the health professionals in the hospitals and medical offices,
the professionals in the office buildings, the computer specialists and technicians
working in companies across the state, elected officials, your co-workers. Chances
are, many of the people you depend upon every day have benefited from the Com-
munity College of Rhode Island. With an enrollment of 16,000 students each se-
mester, CCRI touches the lives of most Rhode Island families.
Each year, between 1,200 and 1,700 Rhode Islanders graduate from CCRI
and thousands more come to the college to take a course or two as part of their
lifelong learning endeavors. Currently, our graduates total more than 46,000, most
of them living and working in this state. It could be said that they are the backbone
the company CEOs and lawyers, educators, health
of the Rhode Island economy
care professionals, technicians, manufacturers and service workers that keep the
Ocean State afloat.
Many of our graduates also choose to continue their education by transfer-
ring to another school. This class was no exception. Of those responding to the
survey, 27% indicated they were attending school full time and another 10% part
time. Whether students transfer before completing a degree at CCRI or upon
completion as highlighted in this report, the transfer function is performing very
effectively in meeting the needs of our students. As indicated on the following
page, graduates of the Class of 2002 are continuing their studies at a variety of
colleges across the country.
Established in 1964 to give all Rhode Islanders an opportunity to achieve
their educational goals, CCRI remains committed to helping every student suc-
ceed. The college serves recent high school graduates, older adults looking for a
new career, recent immigrants and businesses looking to give their employees the
training they need to remain competitive in a global economy.

CCRI's primary mission is to help students succeed in reaching their
educational goals by preparing them to enter the workforce or transfer to a four-
year college or university. Each year the college attempts to measure its success
in this regard by surveying the previous year's graduates.
This year the 1,369 members of the Class of 2002 were asked to provide
information about place of employment, job title, salary and status of continuing
education. Of those, 1,079, or 78.8%, responded to the survey. The results indicate
that, overwhelmingly, CCRI graduates succeeded in reaching their educational
are employed, continuing their education or a
goals. In fact,
more than 95%
combination of both.
A total of 624 graduates reported that they are working full time, with another
334 employed on a part-time basis (221 of those working part time are also
continuing their education).* Also, 293 graduates are attending school full time;
39.9 percent of these are attending Rhode Island College and 24.2 percent are
studying at the University of Rhode Island. Members of the Class of 2002
transferred to more than 30 colleges and universities.
* Range and average of salaries reported by employed graduates may vary from year to year based on salary
levels that may have existed prior to obtaining the degree or certificate.
