Dear Friend of Southeast Community College,
On behalf of the Board of Governors, the alumni, faculty, staff, and students of
this excellent institution, I am pleased to present Southeast Community College’s

training-related field, the number continuing their education, the percent employed within Nebraska,
and the average salary for SCC graduates. In addition to graduation and employment statistics,
the report includes employers and transfer colleges and universities associated with each of SCC’s

relation to the impact of SCC’s programs.
This report represents one of our many efforts to evaluate the success of our programs and the degree

Gathering DataInformation about the post-graduation status of SCC graduates was collected from three primary sources: directly from the graduates at or near the time of graduation, from an online survey six months after graduation, and from the National Student Clearinghouse. The information at the time of graduation was collected by the Placement Offices through personal conversations, classroom visits, telephone calls, emails, mailings, texts, and Facebook.
Wage and employment information has been self-reported by graduates for their first job after graduation. Self-reported continuing education status was supplemented with information from the National Student Clearinghouse.
After the data collection was complete, the Institutional Research Office combined responses from the Placement Office and the online survey and supplemented that with information from the National Student Clearinghouse. For those graduates that provided SCC with information both at the time of graduation and six months later, we used the information from six months after graduation.
The final data source included 891 who provided information at the time of graduation (63%), 483 who provided information six months after graduation (34%), and 42 for whom we have only information from the National Student Clearinghouse (3%).
We removed salary information if there were fewer than three graduates in a program due to confidentiality. Graduates who gave no response are not included in the percentage calculations.

Brent Benes“SCC equipped me with the tools to succeed in the Agriculture industry. It opened more career paths for me than I imagined. Now I’m doing what I love and I’m getting paid for it. Every employer I’ve had has commented how much they appreciate the knowledge and skills SCC graduates enter the workforce with.”Greenhouse Research Technician, Bayer CropScience Breeding and Trait Development Station, Beaver Crossing, NE

Caleb Billesbach“My experience at SCC was something that you can’t get anywhere else. The teachers and
staff helped me gain the knowledge to continue to get to where I am today.”Student, University of Nebraska at Kearney, Kearney, NE

Tyler Ferguson“SCC is a good idea for anyone interested in a career as a diesel mechanic. The program gives you a basic grasp of the industry, and I had a job within four quarters of the program. I would definitely recommend the program.”Shift Lead, Crete Carrier, Lincoln, NE
Diesel Technology-Truck Graduate
Emily Forney “I use everything that I learned at SCC. I did my cooperative training for the city of
Beatrice, Board of Public Works, which turned into a job offer. I would recommend SCC to others, not just for the education but for the people.”
Account Clerk, City of Beatrice – Board of Public Works, Beatrice, NEOffice Professional Graduate
Kevin Rubeck “My experience attending Southeast Community College in Milford was outstanding.
I had attended a four-year university for Construction Management and was frustrated at the lack of hands-on skills and personal attention from my professors. Going to SCC, I learned a lot of those same principles and ideas, but I also learned technical hands-on skills to back up the knowledge taught in the classroom. Upon graduation, I was hired at Bierman Contracting Inc. in Columbus, NE. After only six months, I advanced from being a laborer to foreman and now superintendent. The company recognized my motivation and attitude and helped me achieve
my goal of where I wanted to be in five years in a mere six months. I am now leading a project and overseeing more than 20 different subcontracted companies from all over the United States.
The knowledge and opportunities through SCC and Bierman Contracting Inc. have allowed me to reach my goals and to set new ones.”
