CHAPTER 3
Methodology
In finding out whether or not the researcher’s hypothesis is true, a research survey questionnaire must be developed and implemented. The key to developing a good survey questionnaire is to keep it short while ensuring that all of the information that is needed will be captured. Surveys can help decide what needs changing, what problems there might be, or lots of other questions that may arise at any time. Gathering information is an important way to help people make decisions about topics of interest. The reason why a survey will be used during this research is because it will give the answer any question about the hypothesis or topic. As stated in Applegate (2002), “The best part about surveys is that they can be used to answer any question about any topic,” (p. 25).
A survey is a way to collect information directly from people in a systematic and standardized way. The survey that was developed will be used to provide factual evidence to support the hypothesis. The researcher plans to take the data received from the survey and utilize it to support her hypothesis. When the survey questionnaire is distributed, the data received will capture the information needed for the research paper. The survey will be the documentations provided from the students that will prove that the career planning and placement department has not provided the resources and professional development programs to prepare the students for the workforce. When using a survey to receive information, it is important to be concise about the information needed. Surveys are essential to seeking factual evidence and revealing any issues or problem. The reason why a survey is an essential part of the statistical process is because it shows what is actually happening in reality. By implementing a survey questionnaire in the research paper, the learner will be able to add credibility to the research. Running head: THE UNPREPARED AND UNEMPLOYED COLLEGE GRADUATE

There are three major benefits in using a survey within the specified organization. The first major benefit is that surveys places emphasis on authentic data. Surveys are an excellent way to receive information first hand and not heresy. The second advantage is that surveys are a strong quantitative methodology when used correctly. The last advantage is that surveys are inexpensive and is not time consuming. The challenges in using a survey are that the students may not feel comfortable providing answers that present themselves in an unfavorable manor. The second challenge in using a survey is that students may not feel encouraged to provide accurate, honest answers because of perception of the way they were treated. The last challenge in using a survey is that surveys with closed-ended questions may have a lower validity rate than other question types.
Once the researcher agreed on a research question, the next decision that had to be made was what would be the best way to conduct the survey. Due to time constraints, the researcher had to personally hand out surveys instead of sending them to people through the Internet or mail. By handing out the surveys, it would guarantee immediate responses. It was also convenient to hand out the surveys personally because the researcher was able give discuss it with other classmates. The next thing was to compose the research survey questionnaire and implement it. The procedure that was used to develop the research survey questionnaire was extremely detailed and precise. The main idea of the survey was to capture the opinion of the students regarding how they viewed how much guidance and training they received to be prepared for the workforce once they graduate. Students are procrastinators and think that everything should be given to them. Students also do not realize that they are not prepared for something until they are actually faced with it. As stated in Savage (2003), “Landing a job is a skill that students need for a lifetime of employment, and a critical part of a complete college education comes from learning to develop great skills” (p. 273).

Demonstration of Intervention – Statement of Objective
The transition from collegiate life to working professional is a large one. As stated in the aforementioned, it is _________ College responsibility to educate, empower and employ the traditional students while they matriculate through the institution. When college students graduate with no professional development training for the workforce and are unemployed in their field of study, it demonstrates that there needs to be an intervention in place to support the future success of these students. Statement of Objective
The objective is recommend starting in the Fall of 2014, the Department of Academic Affairs should provide mandatory professional development training to all traditional students at ________ College during the four to five years of their college career so that once they graduate from the institution, they can be well prepared to succeed in their field of study.
Demonstration of Intervention- The Professional Development Academy
The intervention plan of action is to implement a career planning and placement curriculum into the _______ College traditional students’ academic degree plan for them to receive professional career training and graduate prepared for a successful career. The purposed career development part of the academic curriculum would be called “The Professional Development Academy.” These credited career-development focused classes will enhance, educate and empower traditional students about professional development while preparing them to be successful in their field of study while they are taking educational courses. The students will have the opportunity to be advised and trained in the area of professional career-development through several courses: online soft skills training, developing a resume, mock interviewing, elevator pitch, etiquette at work and other Running head: THE UNPREPARED AND UNEMPLOYED COLLEGE GRADUATE
14
professional development training in classification phases as they matriculate through college. As stated in chapter 2, as freshmen, instead just taking the normal college success, all traditional freshmen would be required take two three-credited “Career Awareness” classes. This would be the foundation of the four phases to learn about the culture of career awareness, the importance of professional behavior in the workplace, explore basis office and professional etiquette and identify the student’s career potential. By the time the student completes this course they will ascertain and complete the goals needed to move to the next level. By the students’ sophomore year, the second phase that would be purposed to be implemented as part of their degree plan would be a class in Career Exploration. This phase would offer lessons in how to draft a resume and identify students work experiences and skills. Also, the students would be required to attend professional development workshops with college-partnered companies to further enhance their knowledge. At the junior level, traditional students of _________ College would be required to take “Career Experience” class. At this level, students will be required to start exploring their two mandatory internship and future employment opportunities. Students will be required to identify prospective employment opportunities and two internships within their major. By the second semester as a junior, the students should be well versed in obtaining one of the two internships to be completed by the end of the first semester in their senior year. As the students advance to a senior year status, students would be required to complete the “Transition from College to Career” class. At this crossroad, the students will have perfected all of the aforementioned skills needed to compete in their career globally. Students would have attained a wealth of career awareness and planning knowledge. At this level of successful planning, students would have completed their required internships in their major field of study. This would give them the edge that they need to receive job offers before graduation. See Appendix ″D″ Running head: THE UNPREPARED AND UNEMPLOYED COLLEGE GRADUATE

CHAPTER 4
Evaluation Plan
In order to develop a detailed plan of evaluation for this research, a research survey questionnaire assessment of sixty-seven traditional seniors who graduated in May 2013 need to first be conducted to determine whether or not the hypothesis theory is true. Once the survey is assessed, the data will need to be scrubbed and analyzed. The results and findings from the data will prove the hypothesis theory or reject the hypothesis theory.
Data Analysis
In the research plan, it is the plan to survey sixty-seven traditional graduating seniors out of one hundred and eighteen graduating senior students at ________ College. The reason why this group was selected is because this group of seniors was affected by administration changes within the institution and received no career awareness training. The researcher will find out whether or not _________ College has provided adequate services to the students and prepared them for the workforce in their field of study while matriculating at the institution. The theory that is going to be used would be the hypothesis theory. The hypothesis theory provides the researcher with a structural analytical method for making decisions of this type. To formulate the hypothesis the researcher used the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis is a statement about the sample values that was tested. The null hypothesis will be rejected only if the data provided has contradictory evidence. The alternative hypothesis includes all the values not covered by the null hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is to be true if the null hypothesis is rejected.Running head: THE UNPREPARED AND UNEMPLOYED COLLEGE GRADUATE

Limitation of the Data Collection Plan
The essentials of the research survey questionnaire was to implement a systematic way of asking people to volunteer information about their opinions and beliefs regarding how prepared are they for the workforce. Identifying and writing survey questions is an important aspect of any survey process. Special precautions were made to remove bias in the data. The researcher did not include the students that were in the BEEP, CSX or JEA professional development program. The researcher preferred to receive direct answers from the participants to ensure concrete and concise results at the end of the survey. The way the survey questions perform, the adequacy with which they obtain the desired information, has a greater influence on the results of the survey than any other single part of the process. Therefore, careful consideration was taken when constructing the survey questionnaire. The type of questions that was chosen for this particular research survey was closed end questions. Closed-ended, or multiple choice, questions ask the group of participants to choose an answer from list of alternatives. In the opinion of the researcher, closed-ended or multiple-choice questions are easier for the participants to answer. They are also easier to analyze and tabular than open-ended questions. Closed-ended questions reduce changes of participants’ bias opinion on a particular subject. In a closed-ended or multiple-choice survey, questions are well administered and structural towards goal of survey compare to open-ended survey questions. As stated in Hightower and Scott (2012), “Some researchers prefer closed-ended or multiple-choice questions to gather quantitative data.” Another reason why the researcher chose to use closed-ended questions for this research is because it limits the participants’ input into the wording of answers, but ensures that the researcher or other people are not influencing the answer by randomly encouraging elaboration or making suggestions for answers. The survey tool that was created consisted of five questions Running head: THE UNPREPARED AND UNEMPLOYED COLLEGE GRADUATE
18
focusing on the opinion of sixty-seven out of one hundred and eighteen traditional senior students at ________ College. Before the students were given the survey questionnaire a pilot-test was done. The pilot-test is useful for demonstrating the survey’s reliability. As stated in Kelley. K, Clark, B., Brown, V. and Sitzia, J. (2003) “the pilot test is a good way to determine the necessary sample size needed for experimental designs.” When a survey questionnaire is pilot tested it ensures that each question is valid, all the words are understood, whether or not the questions are answered correctly and whether or not the questions apply to each of the students. The sample for the pilot test were the same questions as the actual survey just given to a different selection of students. The pilot test was done on five students where graduates of the Class of 2012. This was extremely motivating as well as intriguing. Those students were extremely cooperative and were concise in their opinion. The results were different than the actual survey that was conducted because four out of five of the students that were selected ended graduated with jobs that they were already working but not in their field of study. The sampling technique that was used was based on convenience sampling. The researcher decided to have a sample size of sixty-seven participants because the researcher felt that it would be feasible, considering the time constraints. To further expedite the surveying process, each the survey was done during a meet and greet so that each person did the survey immediately. After each person had their surveys filled out, the results were placed into Microsoft Excel. This made the process easy and less time consuming. Formulizing the results after receiving the surveys back made it easy to begin analyzing.

CHAPTER 5
Summary of Results
The researcher proceeded to formulate the results from the survey. The raw data was scrubbed into a histogram, pie chart and bar graph to demonstrate the results. Out of sixty seven traditional students that were about to graduate with college degrees, only three students were working in their field of study. Out of sixty seven students that were about to graduate with college degrees, only two students were in management trainee programs in their field of study at the time of graduation. Students indicated that they did not feel that they were prepared for their career in their field of study. The students realized that they lack professional development skills that should have been taught while they were matriculating and is an issue for them now that they are facing their career in their field of study. They hypothesis was proven to be correct. Traditional graduating students at _______ College are not prepared to work in their field of study because there are no professional training development programs in place for traditional college students to mandatory attend.
In other words, as the students are preparing to graduate, they are not employed in their field of study and not prepared to enter workforce. Students spend four to five years at the institution and during that time receive little to no professional training that will prepare them to enter the workforce. The results in the research also confirmed that the institution did not deliver a well-rounded college graduate because they are not professionally qualified to work efficiently and effectively in corporate America. If the students were asked to do a task regarding professional development they would not have an understanding how to apply those skills to the workplace.

CHAPTER 6
Conclusion and Recommendation
As stated in the aforementioned, professional development is a critical necessity in today’s educational environment. Students at ______ College are not receiving professional development training to ensure that they are prepared for a career in their field of study. Traditional graduating students at _______ College are not prepared to work in their field of study because there are no professional training development programs in place for traditional college students to mandatory attend. The study demonstrated that out of sixty seven traditional students that were about to graduate with college degrees, only three students were working in their field of study. The study also proved that out of sixty seven students that were about to graduate with college degrees, only two students were in management trainee programs in their field of study at the time of graduation.
The purposed recommendation is starting in the Fall of 2014, the Department of Academic Affairs should provide mandatory professional development training to all traditional students at _______ College during the four to five years of their college career so that once they graduate from the institution, they can be well prepared to succeed in their field of study. The purposed career development part of the academic curriculum would be called “The Professional Development Academy.” These credited career-development focused classes will enhance, educate and empower traditional students about professional development while preparing them to be successful in their field of study while they are taking educational courses. The students will have the opportunity to be advised and trained in the area of professional career-development and other professional development training in classification phases as they matriculate through college.

Reflections
In everyday life I am constantly researching various things and researching how to perfect my craft. I have learned that not everyone is equal to being determined to get the job done. Among my peers, there was frustration because of the number of pages that needed to be prepared for the topic. In all of my classes, I have always written and produced more than what was required of me. The Literature Review was a little challenging for me. The reason it was challenging for me was because I had to intensify and specify my research to get the support needed for my problem. I knew what I wanted to write about because I have written several papers on the same problem throughout my career as a college student. The only difference this time was I needed to narrow in on the nucleus of the problem specifically. This is the learning outcome that I received. Stop looking at the broader picture and just look the specific problem so that I can figure out how to solve that problem. Then once the problem is solved, this will help the broader picture.
The entire program as well as the business application project has affected me and changed my life tremendously. It has made me more aware on how valuable a college degree is needed to be successful in my career. My education is extremely important to me. I will try to apply the learning outcome to my personal life because I tend to become overwhelmed when I look at the broader picture instead of the problem at hand. Being an advocate of the adult learner I’m grateful for the opportunity of being able to earn a college degree. The CLIMB program at Edward Waters College is the best kept secret for adults who couldn’t earn a degree and now would like to complete what they started in the past.
