Graduate Follow-Up Survey Results
Each year, WITC surveys graduates to find out how well their degree or diploma prepared them for their career. The results reveal an impressive record of academic excellence and valuable career perspective. The trend continues as WITC released the results from its most current Graduate Follow-up Survey.
92% of WITC's 2019 graduates are employed and 73% are employed in a job related to the training they received at WITC. Additional data by division, program and campus can be found in the following document.
