College Track: 2020 Social Mobility Report 2020 Social Mobility Report | Page 23

As the table to the right shows, respondents generally resemble
the overall population with a few exceptions: (1) recent
graduates and female-identified graduates seem slightly more
likely to respond, (2) our Asian-American graduates are slightly
overrepresented as respondents, and (3) our African-American
graduates are slightly underrepresented in the respondent group.
It also important to note, that the vast majority of our alumni to
date come from our Bay Area centers, and within the respondent
sample 80% are still residing in California.

As our alumni network grows from 600 college graduates to 1,400
by 2024, we will be able to include graduates from two additional
regions in our survey. To ensure that our college graduates
continue to experience social mobility, we will expand our services
and resources to meet the need of a changing workforce and cost
of living. In fall 2019, we launched CT Connect, an online portal to
connect alumni with each other, to career growth opportunities,
and to the greater College Track community.

This year’s survey results were collected online through Survey
Monkey. At the time of the survey, we reached out to 127 graduates
(within six months of graduation) and 356 older graduates (more
than one year after graduation). We had an additional subset of
older graduates who we did not have up-to-date contact information
for and could not reach, however their demographic information
is still included in the non-respondent breakdowns. In total, 46%
of graduates (224) responded to the survey. Although this is still a
robust enough sample to glean insights, it is down from last year’s
impressive 66% response rate, and 2017’s 53% response rate.
