Really great, Jay. Placement can make a difference in all areas of the school. Happy students do refer students and there's nothing like free marketing of word of mouth. The more employers know about your school the more likely they will send students and let you know about job openings - particularly in difficult economic times. If you need externship placement then keeping in touch with employers helps you find out about openings. You can also talk with externship sites to determine how likely it is they will hire the extern. There's nothing like filling jobs at the extern site. Thanks, Susan
