Goals/ Summary

In the course of the second Saxon Alumni Study, two surveys were carried out independently of one another. For the initial study, alumni of the years 2010 and 2011 and of higher education institutions for applied sciences in the division of the SMWK were surveyed. The key issues in this survey were once again the retrospective rating of the degree program, assessment of the acquisition of competences, the entry into a career and their first work experiences. In the follow-up survey, the group 2006/2007 which had already participated in the initial survey in 2008/2009 was asked about their further career path. In addition, the survey included questions about continued training or further education as well as about their current circumstances. The third survey round is planned for 2017/2018.
