Report Methodology

STC Graduate Outcomes Report

Southeast Technical College gathers placement data through graduate surveys, faculty-collected outreach and phone surveys starting six months after graduation. South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation data may also be used for
supplementation and/or validation.

While we strive for reliability and validity, as with any type of data collection, limitations exist. Self-reported survey data and unemployment insurance records, are subject to variance. To maintain the confidentiality of all individuals, and in accordance with the appropriate data governance protocols, cohort sizes of five or fewer students with less than a 50% response rate are redacted.
