Hi Angela, All good points. Sounds familiar! The key to Placement services is to ensure that grads have the skills, knowledge, and self confidence to get a job in the field they were trained for. So many grads report they got a job. The Placement Dept needs to find out if it was for the job trained for. There's a difference between working in a hospital as a medical assistant, for example, or just working in any job at a hospital (which could be in the laundry room!) If the grad isn't working in the right job it is important for placement to contact the employer and find out why. Perhaps your programs didn't train the grad to be work-ready. Important information. So the Placement department has a big job. And the sphere of influence is throughout the school - admissions, education, and of course placement. Thanks, Susan
