A Graduate Survey is sent to each graduate by mail or email following graduation. Historically, BRTC has contacted graduates at both the six-month and one-year marks after graduation to collect employment and salary information. Beginning with the most recent cohorts, BRTC is transitioning to a single survey administered at the one-year mark only. Graduates who do not respond to the initial survey are sent a text message with a survey link, are contacted by phone, and are often sent a letter as well. BRTC uses a Google Form for the survey, which is open for one month for graduates to complete.
Timing of Data Publication:
As BRTC surveys graduates one year after program completion and follows a comprehensive process for collecting and validating responses, there is an inherent delay between a cohort’s graduation date and the publication of related outcome data. Accordingly, some reported results may not correspond to the most recent graduating class.
Disclosure:
The post-graduation survey results below reflect responses received from graduates of Black River Technical College (BRTC) at the one-year mark following graduation. Data are self-reported by graduates and may not represent all program completers. Not all graduates responded to the survey, and reported outcomes (including salary and employment status) may not be representative of all graduates. Actual individual outcomes vary and are influenced by factors such as field of study, geographic location, prior experience, and local labor market conditions.
Employment and salary data are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of employment or a specific salary. For more information about survey methodology, sample sizes, response rates, or additional details, please contact the Director of Student Career Readiness at shane.copeland@blackrivertech.edu or (870) 248-4022.
