Results:
Of the 21 alternative career choice students who graduated between the years 2000 and 2005, 17 were interviewed.
Conclusion:
Analysis of the data suggested that it may be possible to decrease the total number of weeks allotted to the alternate career choice program without impairing the ability of graduates to find employment in their chosen career fields.
