If a graduate does well while in school and graduates happy, they are more likely to be able to find a satisfying job. Post-graduation can be hard for some students because there is often time a gap between school and finding employment. The happier a student is while in school and at graduation, the easier it is for them to find employment that they can apply their degree to. By looking at the graduate employment rate, the college can judge if they are fulfilling its mission and goals of providing a strong education and satisfying the community.

One of the Key Performance Indicators for our project is the "Graduate employment rate" as explained above. How can we measure the Graduate employment rate? for example, should we email them 6 months and 1 year after their graduation to see if they have found a job? What would be three Hawthorne effects of this KPI?
