Section 1: Identifying Alumni Outcomes

24 Steps

This guide starts on the Getting Started page; this is the first thing you will see when you open the Alumni Insights Dashboard.

This dashboard provides access to 30 million profiles, enabling us to analyze real-world career outcomes.

Click on Filters to begin looking at Alumni data.

The top ribbon of the screen provides you with steps to evaluate real-world career outcomes within the Alumni Insights app. These steps will help you populate the data you are looking for.

This is your Filters screen. On this screen you will begin making selections based on the Alumni data you are interested in pulling.

Under 'Profile', users can filter alumni data according to city, state, and gender.

Under 'School', users can filter alumni data by school name, school domain, and school location region.

Note: If you're interested in seeing where your alumni end up after graduation, this is a good place to start. Similarly, you can use this section to research your competitors.

Under 'Program', users can filter alumni data by CIP code, award level, primary major, graduation year, and education order.

Under 'Job', users can filter alumni data by industry, company name, gray SOC title, job title, and job order.

Note: Use 'Job Order' to track a student's career progression, searching their first, second, third, and subsequent jobs post-graduation.

In this demo, we will explore the career outcomes of bachelor's program graduates, focusing on their career progression within the past five years.

We will start the search in the 'Program' section.

Search for the CIP code you are interested in.

For this demo, we will search for "Creative Writing".

Select "23.1302 Creative Writing"

Next, we will focus on graduates from the past 5 years. Select the years you wish to include. In this case, we will select 2023 through 2019.

Select the 'Employment' tab at the top of the screen to access employment data.

The following employment data is generated from the selected filters.

The "Industry" section reveals the most popular industries for these alumni.

"Company Name" shows the leading companies that have hired these alumni.

This section displays Gray SOC Titles.

This section displays their job titles and career progression.

Under Gray SOC Title, click the table header's arrow to sort these job counts from highest to lowest, immediately revealing the most common first SOC job titles among graduates. All section headers on this screen can be filtered and sorted.

Note: The columns indicate the job order after graduation. 1 is the first job after graduation, and 10 is the 10th job after graduation.

We can see that the most common first job after graduation for a bachelor's in Creative Writing graduate within the last 5 years is 'Writers and Authors".

It appears that "Market Research Analysts and Marketing Specialists," "Editors," and "Project Mgmt and Business Operations Specialists" are also popular SOC titles for Creative Writing Graduates within the past 5 years.

Lastly, to see where these alumni are located, select the 'Location' tab in the top blue ribbon.

This screen displays your alumni locations (reflecting your chosen filters) and allows you to view them at the map, state, city, and metropolitan statistical area levels.
