Abstract

A graduate tracing study or often known as a tracer study, is a study of graduates of a university. The results of this tracer study can be used to evaluate an educational program. Alumni are at the forefront of the study program to always encourage them to always look ahead while at the same time attracting their younger generation to participate and feel their success. Alumni are the determinants of quality in teaching and learning activities at the University, both the quality of teachers, namely lecturers and the quality of education staff. The State University of Medan as an educational institution needs to use complete data related to study tracers to evaluate available study programs. To find out the competencies possessed by alumni with their application to the world of work and to know the supervisor’s assessment for graduates who are already working, the study program needs to conduct a tracer study. The purpose of conducting a tracer study is to obtain information about the distribution of graduates, graduate activities, positions and roles carried out by graduates as well as stakeholder opinions. The research method used in this graduate search is a quantitative method through the distribution of questionnaires. Questionnaires were distributed to graduates throughout 2019 at Medan State University with data analysis using SPSS. The results of the study explain that the competencies possessed by graduates are in accordance with the needs of the world of work along with the position and participation of graduates in the world of work. The results of the study also found that the waiting period for graduates to work was only six months and graduate users were satisfied with the work results of their graduates.
