However, ongoing evaluation is necessary to ensure that our universities are providing students with knowledge and skills relevant to the workplace and to their lives beyond university. Evaluative data also provides essential information on bottlenecks in the labour market and supply and demand issues that can assist universities in their efforts to maintain high quality and relevant programs. This information can also assist prospective students, their parents, and secondary school and college advisors as they try to find the right “fit” between prospective students' academic strengths and interests, a wide range of post-secondary options, and the specific jobs to which their degrees may lead. Since 1995, the outcomes for BC's university graduates have been tracked both two years and five years after their degree completion. In 2002, The University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), Royal Roads University (RRU), Simon Fraser University (SFU), and the University of Victoria (UVIC), along with the University Presidents' Council and the BC Ministry of Advanced Education, partnered to survey their 2000 graduates two years after they had completed their bachelors degrees. Conducted by telephone, the survey questions focused on overall academic experience, further education beyond graduation, funding and debt load, and graduates' labour market experience (eg., characteristics of employment, occupational type, and employment income). In addition to an overall analysis, the data was also examined by university and program area to provide a more detailed perspective of our graduates' experience. The report also included a closer examination of the outcomes for Aboriginal graduates and graduates with disabilities." --
