When you believe how vital a placement department is you'll be a great advocate and get a lot of results for your school. YOu are right that all the online class posts provide all the challenges and all the solutions you'll need. And you are right that regardless of the current economic situation the job of the career school is to assist grads to get jobs. Students enroll for the job. Few are interested in the course work! By creating an innovative placement department you do distinguish your school as THE place to turn to for training and work ready grads. Lots to do. thanks, Susan
