1 THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES MONA CAMPUS REPORT ON THE SURVEY OF FIRST DEGREE GRADUATES CLASS OF 2007 OFFICE OF PLANNING AND INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH MARCH 31,
2 INTRODUCTION The UWI, through the Office of Planning and Institutional Research, Mona Campus conducted a survey of First Degree graduates from the Class of 2007 who graduated from the Mona Campus. The survey instrument was developed collaboratively among the University wide Planning Offices. The survey solicited responses to approximately 30 questions covering student demographics, area of study, further studies, employment, and personal and professional development. The survey not only shows how students have fared in the job market one year after graduating, but also reveals important trends in the labour market and suggests areas for improvement by the Mona Campus. METHODOLOGY Survey Administration The Survey of First Degree Graduates from the Class of 2007 was administered by the Office of Planning and Institutional Research. Questionnaires were mailed during the last week of January 2009 to approximately 2,464 graduates residing in Jamaica. A second mailing followed in mid February to approximately 180 graduates residing in other Caribbean territories. All graduates were given the opportunity to reply to the survey by mail or electronically by March 15, Students who completed all the survey questions on time were eligible to win one of four faculty prizes of US $500 cash and a grand prize of US $1,000 cash. The winners are to be announced sometime in April. By the end of the survey period, 633 forms were received, representing a 24% return rate. This response rate marks an improvement over the 14% response rate achieved from the same class of graduates surveyed at the Mona Campus between October and November Survey Instrument The survey instrument, which was developed collaboratively by the Planning Offices across the University, comprised four sections. Section one collected personal information from the graduates such as their name, age, sex, phone number and address as well as their faculty of study, degree earned, and class of degree. Section two of the survey inquired about further studies such as whether or not they were currently enrolled in a graduate programme, their field of study, the type of programme enrolled in, and the name of the institution. 2
3 Section three asked a series of questions on the student s employment status and the extent to which their current job was related to their field of study. Section four asked twelve questions about the skills and competencies acquired while studying at the Mona Campus. Students were asked to rate the Campus s contribution to their skills/competencies development on a scale of None, Very Little, Moderate, to Strong. FINDINGS Section 1: Personal Data Age Group As Table 1 shows, the majority (42%) of respondents from the Class of 2007 were in the age group. Table 1 Age Group N % Total Sex Among the Class of 2007, 79% of graduates were female and 21% male. As seen in Table 2, a higher percentage of females (84%) responded to the survey. Table 2 Sex N % Male Female Total Faculty Among the faculties, the Social Sciences had the highest representation at 38%, followed by Humanities and Education (35%), Medical Sciences (13%) and Pure and Applied Sciences (13%). 3

This represents a significant increase over the 5% reported among the same cohort in November Among the postgraduate respondents (103), 48% were studying the same field as their First degree, while 52% were studying another field. Table 6 Postgraduate Studies N % Yes No Total Type of Programme As Table 7 shows, the majority (75%) of postgraduate respondents were enrolled in Taught programmes while 12% were enrolled in Research programmes.

6 Institution Attending Most (76%) of these postgraduate respondents were attending the UWI while smaller percentages were enrolled at overseas institutions (17%) and other Jamaican institutions (7%). Table 8 Institution N % UWI Overseas Other Jamaican 7 7 Total Intention to Enrol in Postgraduate Studies Among the 530 respondents who were not enrolled in a higher degree programme, 492 or 93% said they planned to enrol in the near future, while 7% said they did not. Among those who planned to enrol, 44% said they would study the same field as their First degree while 56% reported that they would study another field. Among those who would study another field, the highest reported fields included Human Resource Management (21), MBA (16), Business Administration (15), Marketing (13), Law (13), and Education (10). Section 3: Employment Currently Employed When asked about their employment status, 90% of respondents said they were employed. The employment rate among this cohort increased tremendously over the 61% reported in November Among the 10% unemployed, 46% were currently pursuing postgraduate studies. Table 9 Employed N % Yes No Total
7 Activity of Employer The principal activities of employers fell into three main groups which together accounted for 65% of all reported activities. These were Education (194), Healthcare (90) and Finance/Banking (90). Type of Employer Among the employed graduates, 37% were employed by a Central Government/Statutory Authority, 34% by the private sector, 23% by another public sector institution, and 6% by another entity. Table 10 Sector N % Central Govt./Statutory Other Public Private Other 35 6 Total When the response categories were recoded to match the responses to the November 2007 survey, most respondents reported employment in the Education sector which accounted for 32% of responses in 2007 and 35% in Table 11 Sector2 N % Education Public/Statutory Private Other 11 2 Total Job Title When asked about their occupation or job title, most respondents reported the following titles which together accounted for 70% of all reported job titles: Teacher (144), Officer (68), Nurse (56), Assistant (38), Manager (28), Representative (19), Teller (17), Analyst (13) and Secretary (11). It is not surprising how many respondents reported teacher, since the majority of respondents reported employment in the education sector (Table 11). 7
8 Type of Job Among the employed graduates, 71% reported being employed on a full time permanent basis while 22% were employed on a full time temporary basis. Another 6% reported part time employment and 1%, self employment. The number of self employed graduates declined from 4% in November 2007 to 1% in The fact that 93% of respondents reported full time Table 12 Type of Job N % FT Permanent FT Temporary Part Time 33 6 Self Employment 4 1 Total employment is good news for the Mona Campus and an indication of the opportunities in the labour market. Further analyses revealed that full time employment was not limited to a particular age group (Table 13) and that all three sectors (education, public, and private) accounted for almost equal shares of the full time employed graduates (Table 14). Table 13 Full Time Employment Age N % Total Table 14 Full Time Employment Sector2 N % Educ Public/Stat Private Other 9 2 Total
9 Current Job Requires a First Degree Almost half of respondents (49%) reported that a First degree was a minimum requirement for their job, while 51% said a First degree was not a minimum requirement for their job. The fact Table 15 Job Requires First Degree N % Yes No Total that half of respondents were holding jobs requiring a First degree indicates the caliber of jobs Mona s graduates are obtaining, and also the importance of a University education in the job market. Further analyses revealed that the youngest age group (19 24) was the most likely to report their job required a First degree (Table 16) and, among the sectors, the private sector was the most likely to require a First degree (Table 17).

10 Job Related to Field of Study When asked to what extent their current job was related to their field of study, most respondents (51%) said their job was directly related to their field of study, and another 27% said their job was somewhat related to their field of study. Only 10% of respondents reported their current job was neither related to their field of study nor their preference. Table 18 Job Related to Field of Study N % Yes Somewhat No, my choice No, not my choice Total First Job Since Graduating from UWI, Mona With regard to whether or not their current job was their first job, nearly half (44%) of respondents said yes, while 56% said no. As Table 20 shows, those most likely to report their current job as their first were the youngest age group. Table 19 First Job N % Yes No Total Table 20 First Job Age Group Yes No Total Total
11 Sixty percent (60%) returned to a job they held prior to graduating from Mona (Table 21). Table 21 Returned to Previous Job N % Yes No Total Not surprisingly, those who returned to a previous post tended to be older (Table 22) and were employed in the education sector (Table 23). Table 22 Returned to Post Age Group Yes No Total Total Table 23 Returned to Post Sector2 Yes No Total Education Public/Statutory Private Other Total Gross Monthly Salary (JA$) Among the employed graduates who reported their gross monthly salary (91% response rate), the mean was $90,912, the median $82,250 and the mode $80,000. The minimum and maximum salaries ranged from $16,000 to $380,000 per month. 11

Dev. 43,645 Minimum 16,000 Maximum 380,000 When the mean salaries were compared by faculty, the faculty with the highest mean salary was Humanities and Education ($98,181) followed by Pure and Applied Sciences ($90,700) and Social Sciences ($87,951). The mean salary for Medical Sciences was $79,480. The reason for the high mean salary in Humanities and Education is due to the higher mean salary in Education ($115,296). Sixty three percent (63%) of respondents from that department were 35 years or older, many of whom were employed as teachers with the Ministry of Education. Teaching salaries were reported on average in the $90,000 $120,000 range. Additionally, in the Faculty of Medical Sciences, 75% of respondents were nurses whose salaries were in the $40,000 $50,000 range compared with the few MBBS respondents who reported salaries in the $100,000 and over range.

Male 98, ,536 Female 89, ,584 Total 90, ,645 Salary data were also converted into annual income to see what patterns emerged. As Table 28 shows, 61% of employed respondents were earning $900,000 or more a year, which compares favorably to the 27% reported by this cohort in November It appears then, that students employment prospects improve one year after graduation. Table 28 Income Group N % $1 499, $500, , $700, , $900,000 1,099, $1,100,000 9,999, Total Section 4: Personal and Professional Development When asked about acquired skills and competencies from the Mona Campus, respondents were generally satisfied. Respondents were invited to rate the Campus s contribution on a scale of None, Very Little, Moderate, to Strong, with None representing a score of 1 and Strong representing a score of 4. As Table 29 shows, respondents gave Moderate to Strong ratings to all but two categories, Innovative and Entrepreneurial, and Proficiency in a Second Language. These two categories reflect areas for improvement at Mona. It should be noted, however, that of the few respondents whose Major was a foreign language, these respondents gave high ratings to Proficiency in a Second Language. 13

On the positive side, findings show a marked improvement in the employment rate which was reported to be 61% some five months after graduation and 90% one year later. A higher percentage of graduates have also pursued postgraduate studies which was 5% five months after graduation and 16% one year later. Salaries also improved greatly with 61% of graduates earning salaries of $900,000 or more annually, compared with 27% of graduates earning this amount five months after graduation. Findings also reveal important information about the labour market. Most notable are the three main sectors in which graduates are employed, Education, Healthcare, and Finance & Banking. It is somewhat of a surprise that teaching salaries are on par with the salaries of recent MBBS graduates. Despite concerns over a weakening economy, many graduates are able to find decent paying jobs on a full time permanent basis. These jobs are not only related to their field of study but more and more, these positions are requiring a University degree. The Mona Campus, however, needs to address certain issues to remain a viable, competitive institution. One area of concern is the gender imbalance at the Mona Campus which requires intervention at the level of high school. More growth needs to occur in postgraduate research programmes through perhaps better funding opportunities for students. With regard to innovative and entrepreneurial skills, the Mona Campus could better prepare graduates in this area by instituting a mandatory entrepreneurial course for all final year students. This course would not only prepare graduates for the world of work but would also contribute to the country s economic growth through increased entrepreneurship. 14
