This group of individuals is charged with implementing a series of structured student lessons and activities and assessing students at the end of each implementation phase.

The Annual Employer Survey gathers feedback from local employers that hire MGCCC graduates. At the end of each academic year the Teaching and Learning leadership team works to compile a contact list of all feeder employers that hire our MGCCC graduates. In a given year, we reach out to over 225 feeder employer contacts and request for these individuals to provide honest feedback regarding recently hired graduates. The online survey takes employers about 10 minutes to complete and is organized into four blocks of items:

1. Employer Characteristics
   • Size
   • Location
   • Sector
2. QEP Essential Skills 
3. Ability of recently hired graduates to demonstrate general education competencies
4. Ability of recently hired graduates to demonstrate program-level competencies
5. General feedback that can improve upon elements of an educational program offered at the institution

The second block of questions was added to the instrument to capture employer feedback regrading the three essential skills being developed by the QEP Embracing Essential Skills Program. Employers will be able to evaluate recently hired graduates in each of the three essential skill and be able to provide feedback.
