Hi Mary
Great ideas. You might want to develop an alumni association and send monthly information to each grad. It keeps them in touch with your school and you have a better chance of keeping track of their addresses.

We have a lifetime placement assistance and we do get some of the old students back for help...it also help us to keep track of past graduates.....MBJ
Hi Barbara
Yes, lifetime resume service is a big selling point. It keeps alumni returning to your school. They might want to enroll in continuing ed or learn about new programs to recommend to their friends and relatives.

Hi Karl
You have made great points. The strategy is to make placement "training" a goal and reward rather than a have to. You can do this by allowing students to use the placement department or attend workshops only when they have finished a certain amount of course work or attained a certain grade. Of course you cannot eliminate students from access placement services. Also making the class a requirement is what many schools do. The goal is to get students successfully placed. It will impact on your enrollment, retention, and of course placement.
Thanks
Susan
