Interviewing students after they complete the study is one of the important
methods for establishing their satisfaction with the achieved knowledge and
their impression in general. From students we want to get information: who
or what had the biggest influence on their decision to study at our school, how
satisfied they were with study, what was for them the most important acqui-
sition, what they gained with their study, what in their opinion is the main ad-
vantage and disadvantage of studying at our school. The educational institution
with this gains important guidelines for further work with students.
In this paper we will present results of a survey from students of the School
Centre Šentjur after their diploma exam. In addition to the questions that were
defined, the survey provided descriptive answers. The surveys were complet-
ed from students of all four higher vocational programs. Most of the surveys
were completed by students from the Food and Nutrition program (31.58 %).
Students who were already employed at the time of the diploma exam was
52.64 %. Part-time students (employed and work active) was 42.10 %. Results
of a survey have shown on the content that is most important for students be-
sides formal education. These are: satisfaction with the acquired knowledge,
skills/ competences (satisfied with 42.11 %, completely satisfied with 57.89 %),
I gained the ability to participate in a group, a team (pretty much agree 52.63
%, agree entirely 47.37 %), I gained social skills (pretty much agree 57.89 %,
agree entirely 42.11 %), I gained entrepreneurship and self initiative (I partially
agree 5.16 %, pretty much agree 26.32 %, agree entirely 68.42 %), I gained the
skills to organize my own work and time (partially agree 15.79 %, pretty much
agree 21.05 %, agree entirely 57.89 %), I gained the ability to research (pret-
ty much agree 47.73 %, agree entirely 52.63 %). All the respondents (100 %)
would advise their friends/ colleagues/ children to study at our Higher Voca-
tional school.
Study for students enables to acquire new and useful knowledge. Students dur-
ing their study establish an extensive social network, genuine interpersonal re-
lationships and other skills. Students gain a higher level of education and op-
portunity for preforming a job they want. A lot off students would repeat the
study, not just because of the knowledge they gained, but also due to other
positive experiences which affected their well-being. This feedback is a confir-
mation of the quality implementation of the study program and the work and
attitude of the employees. Based on the survey results, the school prepares
an analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) and an action plan.
The findings are published on the school’s website and compared with other
schools.
Key words: student’s satisfaction, gained abilities, employment
