"Alumni Analyzer found our alumni, connected with them, and documented their educational achievements and professional career paths – both statistically and anecdotally."
"We retained Alumni Analyzer so that we could support our messages about our graduates to government funders using objective, aggregate career data. This was no easy task, but Alumni Analyzer understood the level of understanding we were after."
SNOLAB is the world’s leading deep underground clean lab hosting a dozen scientific experiments by large Canadian and international research teams. During more than 20 years of operation, numerous students and post-doctorates have passed through our facility either as users or employees. Inspiring and training these alumni for careers is one of our principal impacts on society.
As a facility that relies on public funds, having objective data on SNOLAB’s impacts is critical. Yet tracking our alumni through their careers has been a challenge. Alumni Analyzer found our alumni, connected with them, and documented their educational achievements and professional career paths – both statistically and anecdotally.
Alumni Analyzer produced a comprehensive report detailing SNOLAB’s success in inspiring and training staff and students, and demonstrating the valuable role SNOLAB alumni play in Canada’s tech and innovation ecosystem.
Alumni Analyzer delivered exactly what SNOLAB needed: objective, aggregate data showing SNOLAB alumni tend to pursue higher educational achievements, have high rates of retention within Ontario and Canada, enjoy strong career progression, and are more likely than other Canadian science graduates to work in high-tech and research-intensive sectors of the Canadian economy.
The findings support our message to funding partners about our impact on the workforce of tomorrow. I look forward to using their services again!

What data is needed for the study?
Our team requires a spreadsheet list of your alumni with full names and a year corresponding to their graduation or other engagement with you. Their degree level (e.g., undergraduate, Masters, PhD), and area of study may be helpful.
You can include other characteristics of their educational experience that you deem of interest for the analysis (e.g., honor roll, co-op).
What about data privacy?
No data will be disclosed to other parties without your permission. We will protect the data according to any standards that you require.
How long will a study take?
Please contact us several months ahead of when you will need the results. While we will do everything to make it simple for you, please allow a month to jointly develop the scope of work and to complete your procurement processes. Then, the time will vary from 1 to 4 months, depending on the scope of work and how many other studies are in our queue.
How do you report your findings?
Most of our clients are happy with a presentation-style report (as a PDF file) with graphs and figures illustrating the results, along with a summary of key findings.
Some data may be reported in a spreadsheet for you to import into your alumni database.
Do you sell alumni contact information?
We do not sell contact information. However, you can use any Linkedin IDs we find to reach out to alumni individually through Linkedin messaging.
How much does it cost?
Costs are determined based on the precise scope of work customized to meet your needs.
