The population consists of 82 graduated students in 2003 academic year, 320 employers and 82 family members. Three questionnaires were distributed; one to graduates by hand in the follow-up seminar, the other to employers and family members by mail. The findings showed that graduates are employed 92.7%, working in organizations 85.5% and worked for their own business 14.5%. The positions are teacher, teacher assistant, clerk, officer, sign language interpreter etc. Most graduates could adjust themselves to their work environment quite well (2.40).
