Moving On: The Mobility of Former Post-Secondary Students. Fact Sheet
BC Student Outcomes
The 2014 BC Student Outcomes surveys, which included the Baccalaureate Graduates Survey (BGS), the Diploma, Associate Degree, and Certificate Student Outcomes (DACSO) Survey, and the Apprenticeship Student Outcomes (APPSO) Survey, asked respondents to confirm their postal code. In all, over 26,000 former students responded to the three surveys, and 89 percent provided usable postal or zip code information. The postal information was used to assign each respondent to a B.C. region, another province, or the USA. Respondents' regions--current at the time of the survey--were compared with the region where each respondent studied, to determine if they moved after completing their studies. The annual surveys collect information by credential: baccalaureate, diploma, certificate, associate degree, and apprenticeship. Depending on their credential type, from 6 to 26 percent of the 2014 respondents who graduated or completed their studies moved from their study region to a new region. [The BC Student Outcomes surveys are conducted with funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education, the participating British Columbia postsecondary institutions, and the Industry Training Authority.]
