Marilyn ,
Building and maintaining relationships with students is key to minimimizing instances where graduates avoid you later. While TWC staff are a resource for questions regarding the report, the report instructions clearly describe how to handle data for graduates that you cannot contact. I suggest you thoroughly review the instructions for the Annual Enrollment and Outcomes Report on the TWC CSC Forms website (form PS-072I). If you cannot verify that a graduate is working in their field of study (or a related field), then you have no other choice but to count them in the Other category which includes unemployed and other designations. Specifically, the Report instructions include: [page 10] Record an “O” (Other) for...The school believes the student was employed, but cannot substantiate this by providing the employment information particularly employer name and contact information and the student’ job title, to substantiate the student was actually employed in an occupation related to that for which s/he was trained.
* No data could be collected for the student ("status unknown"). The school perhaps did not make active attempts to maintain follow up contact with students in order to track their possible employment. Perhaps the school made attempts, but was unsuccessful in contacting the student.
* Any other completer who does not fall into the P, NP, PE, MS, D, or IN categories.
