National Alumni Career Mobility Survey

A survey measuring graduate success and outcomes at the 5-year and 10-year marks.
In this Section

UW-Stout participated in the 2024 National Alumni Career Mobility (NACM) Survey, conducted by Lightcast, a leader in labor market analytics and workforce data. The NACM survey captured comprehensive career pathway data from our alumni, focusing on key areas that provide insights into the value and impact of a UW-Stout education. 

Graduates from 2014 and 2019—both bachelor's and master's programs—were invited to participate. Their feedback is invaluable in shaping future academic and career services, helping us support the next generation of Blue Devils.

Results of the 2024 survey will be released soon. Stay tuned!
