General Education Employer Survey

Introduction

The General Education Committee at Illinois Central College is interested in hearing from Peoria area employers about their impressions of the College’s stated General Education goals and their alignment to qualities employers value in the people working in their organizations. This brief, six-question survey should take no more than five minutes to complete and your anonymous responses will be kept strictly confidential. The General Education Committee at ICC will only use the survey responses for curricular improvement.

At ICC, General Education focuses on broad-level knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes that graduates should demonstrate after their experiences, including coursework and co- and extra-curricular activities, at the College. At its most basic level, ICC’s General Education program encompasses the following:

1. Communication: The ability to transfer information, concepts, or emotions to an audience through written, oral, symbolic, aesthetic, and/or nonverbal communication methods that successfully align with their purpose.

2. Reasoning: Identify and solve problems, analyze new information, synthesize and evaluate ideas, and transform ideas into a course of action by using critical, creative, and/or analytical skills.

3. Responsibility: Understand the implications of choices and actions, demonstrate appropriate behaviors in academic/professional contexts, and contribute constructively within the context of community.
