Thomas, It would be great if all graduates maintained positive communication with the school. Unfortunately, some do not and in today's environment, 1 placement could make the difference between meeting or missing the required employment rate. Maintaining a positive relationship throughout the student's training is the first step to maintaining communication after they finish their training. Periodically, updating all their references can help find them later. Some schools use incentives for the graduate to stay in touch and/or report their employment status - be sure any incentives are company/legal dept. approved. JP Mehlmann
