Career Skills and Entrepreneurship Training for Artists: Results of the 2015 SNAAP Survey Module. Special Report
Skaggs, Rachel
Strategic National Arts Alumni Project
The Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) is an online survey, data management, and institutional improvement system designed to enhance the impact of an arts school education. In 2015, SNAAP developed a Topical Module with in-depth questions about arts entrepreneurship and career skills. Career skills are increasingly regarded as a crucial element of higher education, and researchers have noted the importance of such skills in assuring successful post-college career outcomes. Over 30,000 arts alumni of all ages with undergraduate or graduate level degrees responded to the questions, creating a rich database of information. SNAAP's Career Skills and Entrepreneurship module asks alumni about their educational experiences with entrepreneurship and about confidence in their abilities to act in various entrepreneurial ways in their careers. This report focuses on understanding whether and how entrepreneurship education and career skills are emphasized in arts school or departmental curriculum and programming, how confident alumni are in their abilities, and how entrepreneurship and career development relate to alumni career outcomes. [This report was written with Alexandre Frenette, Sally Gaskill, and Angie Miller.]
