Delight’s Graduate Performance Tracking: How We Know Our Education Is Working

By Delight Technical College | Academic Quality | 2026

 

The true test of any educational institution is not what it teaches, it is what its graduates achieve. At Delight Technical College, we track graduate outcomes actively and systematically, using what we learn to continuously improve our programmes. Here is how our graduate performance tracking works and why it matters to current and future students.

📊 What Is Graduate Performance Tracking?

Graduate performance tracking is the systematic collection and analysis of data about what graduates do after completing their studies. It answers questions like:

• What percentage of graduates find employment or self-employment within a specific period after graduation?
• In what roles and industries are graduates working?
• Are graduates’ qualifications being recognised and valued by employers?
• What skills are employers saying graduates have and what skills are they lacking?
• Are graduates who started businesses sustaining and growing them?
• Are graduates satisfied with the preparation their Delight education provided?

 

🔍 How Delight Tracks Graduate Performance

Alumni Surveys:

Regular surveys sent to Delight graduates at six months, one year, and two years post-graduation, gathering data on employment status, career progress, business development, and satisfaction with their Delight education.

Industrial Attachment Partner Feedback:

The businesses and organisations that host Delight industrial attachment students provide formal feedback on the quality of students’ skills and professional conduct, an early indicator of graduate readiness.

Alumni Community Engagement:

The Delight alumni community’s activity (job announcements, business launches, collaboration requests, and mentorship engagements) provides informal but valuable data on graduate outcomes.

Employer Surveys:

Employers who hire Delight graduates are periodically surveyed about their assessment of graduates’ skills and preparation directly informing curriculum development.

 

🔄 How This Data Improves Your Education

The data gathered through graduate performance tracking directly feeds into curriculum and programme improvements:

• Skills gaps identified by employers become new or enhanced curriculum areas
• High-performing programmes are recognised, celebrated, and invested in further
• Poor-performing areas are investigated and improved
• New career opportunities identified through alumni data are incorporated into career guidance

 

🌟 What the Data Shows

Delight’s graduate performance data consistently shows strong outcomes across its programmes with the majority of graduates finding employment or building businesses in their trained fields within the first year after graduation. This track record is one of the most compelling reasons to choose Delight for your creative education.

 

“We do not just graduate students, we track what happens to them. And what happens to Delight graduates is consistently impressive.”
