Benefits Adults Attribute to Their Participation in a University Continuing Education Management Certificate Program
|
| Abstract |
The author surveyed 1424 students enrolled in the McGill University continuing education program in management certificates to investigate their perceptions of the benefits achieved through participation. The students were divided into four cohorts: entrants, graduates, alumni and withdrawns. The goals of entrants factored into six categories: career development, gaining knowledge, fulfiling external requirements, personal development, personal fulfilment and networking. In almost all areas the author found that achievements matched expectations. Graduates reported significant improvement in career status, although somewhat less than desired. Graduates without prior university education perceived more benefit than those with degrees. Women, though equally satisfied with the program's contribution to career development, reported slower progress in their careers than men. The author found that many withdrawn students attained their objectives without completing the program.
