What is the post-graduation report?
The post-graduation report is released by the K-State Career Center and collects data from K-State graduates annually to be used as a benchmark and reference for faculty and students. This report collects information based on employer, major, position title, starting salary, geographic placement, and furthering education.
What does this information do for me?
Benchmarking job related data is useful to both employers and employees. Employers can use it to check employees’ level of responsibility and salary consistency, and employees can use it when negotiating for a new job or for a pay raise/increase in responsibility when they’re already employed.
