Recent Graduate Outcome Data
Mitchell Technical College takes pride in thoroughly following up with our graduates six months after graduation to learn where their journey has taken them. Some graduates continue their education, some join the military, others will find employment, and for a variety of reasons, a few graduates may not be actively seeking employment.
The Career Services Office has collected data from the 2021 graduates. 464 of the 476 graduates are represented in the data. Here is the most recent overall graduate placement rate information:
| Percent of 2021 graduates who are represented in data | 99% |
| Percent of graduates in the labor market who are employed* | 99% |
| Percent of employed graduates working in South Dakota | 85% |
| Percent of employed graduates working in related fields | 95% |
| Percent of employed graduates working in non-related field | 5% |
| Percent of graduates continuing education or serving in military | 8% |
*Graduate outcome data is gathered through graduate surveys, faculty-collected data, and phone surveys started six months after graduation. Employment rate is figured by: (graduates employed)/(responding graduates who are seeking employment).
