CollectionTo understand the outcomes of our CoP we developed two surveys: (1) a pre-survey used to gaugefaculty interest and needs, administered when faculty joined the CoP and (2) a post-surveyadministered at the end of the first semester. The pre-survey helped inform meeting times,connectivity of the group, and general interests of CoP members. The post-survey was usedinternally to understand what worked in the first implementation, what could be changed, and thegeneral needs of the CoP members.

Between 3-5people participated in each group. To get the depth of employability skills, students who hadparticipated in the co-op program were mixed with students who had done an unofficialinternship. The cut off was that the field of work had to directly relate to their discipline (ie.no general or part time positions were considered like retail, food industry, etc). Prior to theinterview, students were asked about their experience and the researcher made the finaldecision.
