Career & Professional Aspirations Benchmarking Study
What is the Career & Professional Aspirations Benchmarking Study?
The Career & Professional Aspirations survey instrument was designed to provide
an accurate portrait of today’s college students’ awareness of and experiences with
career services as they work toward achieving professional aspirations. The Career &
Professional Aspirations Benchmark is an online assessment that is administered during
the spring semester to a sample of undergraduate students. The assessment provides
actionable data on: utilization of career services' offerings; outcomes of utilizing career
services and other career-related information/advice; and, sources of career advice and
mentoring and the perceived helpfulness of that information. In addition to institution-
specific data, institutions administering this survey have access to national and peer
comparison benchmarking data.
Survey Methodology
The survey sample was a random sample of 3750 currently enrolled UNCG
undergraduate students. The survey was sent via email on February 3, 2013. Students
received two reminders to respond and the survey was closed on February 26, 2013.
Minimal incentives for filling out the survey were provided. The response rate was
approximately 21% (N=802). Typically, response rates at UNCG average between 10%-
12% on surveys administered electronically.
Fall 2012 resident headcount enrollment was 16,926 (15,683.25 FTE), including
14,015 (13,409.75 FTE) undergraduates and 2,911 (2,273.5 FTE) graduate students.
Ninety percent (12,682) of resident undergraduate and 42% (1,216) of resident graduate
students were enrolled on a full-time basis. Sixty-five percent of resident
5
undergraduate students were female. Twenty-five percent of resident undergraduate
students and 14% of resident graduate students were African-American. Thirty-two
percent of resident undergraduate students lived in residence halls. In fall 2012 the
extension headcount was 1,246 (an additional 343 resident students took extension
courses), making the total university student headcount 18,172. (Institutional Research,
2012-2013 Campus Profile).
How Can the Career & Professional Aspirations Study be used?
The results of the Career & Professional Aspirations study can be used in a variety
of ways. Information from the study can be used to justify and inform campus
educational outreach efforts, demonstrate the impact of career services and programs’
impact on learning outcomes, and justify the continued existence of staff and other
support for the career services center. The project provides a better understanding of
the characteristics, perceptions, and attitudes of today’s college students as they relate
to future career and professional aspirations.

Career & Professional Aspirations Benchmarking Study
Spring 2013
SELECT HIGHLIGHTS
The distribution of the nearly 800 UNCG students who completed this survey includes:
20% first year students, 20% sophomores, 29% juniors, and 27% seniors (p. 7).
When asked about their plans immediately after graduation from college, 65% plan to go
into the workforce and 46% plan to go to graduate/professional school (multiple
responses were permitted) (p. 7).
The vast majority (80%) of students planning to go to work immediately after graduation
expect to remain in their first job for five years or less (p. 8).
In terms of their expectation regarding employer and career stability, 82% of student
respondents expect to change employers between two and five times throughout their
lifetime. 23% expect to remain in the same career while 76% expect to change careers
between one and five times (p. 8).
In terms of how often they have visited the Career Services Office, 26% of UNCG
respondents had visited at least once in the past semester (p. 10). The most popular uses
of Career Services among respondents are on-campus job fairs (22%) and resume writing
assistance (20%) (p. 10).
The most popular explanations for not seeking Career Services assistance include: I’m
not ready yet/it’s too early (43%), and I’m too busy (39%) (p. 11).
UNCG respondents reported that, outside of career services staff, the most common
means of obtaining career information/advice/mentoring are friends/peers, family
members, and academic advisors (pp. 17-18).
As a result of the career advice/counseling/information received since enrolling at
UNCG, 52% of respondents report gaining skills/abilities they’ll use after college and
58% report being more likely to complete their degree at UNCG (pp. 26-27).
