• number of respondent leavers

9
What are the Indicator measure numerators?
First calculate the following 1 of
respondent leavers enrolled in higher
education 2 of respondent leavers in
competitive employment (and not counted in 1
above) 3 of respondent leavers enrolled in
some other postsecondary education
or training (and not counted in 1 and 2 above) 4
of respondent leavers in some other
employment (and not counted in 1, 2, and 3
above) Important Note For federal reporting
Leavers should be counted in only ONE of the
above categories. Count the leaver in the highest
category. For Example If an individual is
enrolled in higher education and competitively
employed, count the individual ONLY in higher
education and NOT as competitively employed AND
enrolled in higher education.

Calculations

• To calculate the indicator percentages, use the
  following
• A 1 divided by total respondents
• B 1 2 divided by total respondents
• C 1 2 3 4 divided by total respondents

11
Here is another way to visualize it

Note Remember that individuals are only counted
once are counted in the highest category.
