What is the First Destination Survey?

The First Destination Survey collects information about what NC A&T graduates are doing within six months of graduation — whether that is working full-time, attending graduate school, serving in the military, or pursuing other paths.

This data is used to demonstrate the value of an A&T degree, attract top employers, improve career programs, and help current students understand the career outcomes of their peers.

Why It Matters

✓ Strengthens A&T’s national rankings
✓ Attracts more employer partners
✓ Informs academic program improvements
✓ Helps future Aggies see what’s possible
✓ Takes less than 5 minutes to complete

NC A&T alumni have full access to Career Services resources — including Handshake, career advising, resume reviews, and mock interviews — for up to two years after your graduation date. All alumni can attend career fairs regardless of when they graduated.

Yes, but you may need to reactivate your account. If you graduated in May 2020 or later, email ocs@ncat.edu with the subject line “Alumni Handshake Reactivation Request” and include a non-NC A&T email address (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) in the body. Do not create a new account. If you graduated before May 2020, you will need to create a new alumni account at ncat.joinhandshake.com using a non-NC A&T email.

Yes. All NC A&T alumni are welcome at our career fairs and recruiting events, regardless of when you graduated. Register through Handshake or contact ocs@ncat.edu for details.

Alumni beyond the two-year window are still welcome to attend all NC A&T career fairs and recruiting events. You can also reach out to us for general career guidance. For ongoing one-on-one advising support, we recommend exploring professional career coaching services or your employer’s career development programs.

Log in to Handshake, navigate to Career Center → Appointments, and select an available time. You can also email us directly at ocs@ncat.edu or call (336) 334-7755.

Volunteer as a mentor, connect your company’s recruiting team with our office, speak on career panels, or refer open positions to be posted on Handshake. Email ocs@ncat.edu to get involved.
