 Hi
 
 NRS follow up was not a problem for us. 
 
 We had strong Educational gain folow - up and 30%  with enploment entered 
 goals entered employent.
 
 Entered Employment goals were 100% - We only coded 6 students out of over 
500 
 with this goal because at enrollment thay had clear plans to enter higher 
ed. 
 or training programs.
 
 We didn't code students with 'retained employment' as a goal because of 
 complexities of achieving/tracking that goal - and ended up with 58 students 
 who achieved that goal anyway!!! :-)
 
 We didn't code students with GED goal because were either: unrealistic for 
 the students, the % of achievement mandated was completely unrealistic, we 
 are not a GED program and we referred appropriate students to GED programs.

 Yikes - Did I write that. Did I send it without without proofreading, yep.

What I meant was 30% of students with the goal of entering employment 
achieved that goal and 100% of students with the goal of ' entering 
post-secondary education or training program' achieved that goal. 

Also, 67% showed significant educational gain, i.e., completed a level. That 
was typical for our population who are 80% from the Former Soviet Union and 
usually stay for 3-4 cycles of instruction.
