Marita, We also agree that a great placement and career services department impacts the entire school. Happy and employed students refer their friends and families. These referrals make for quality enrollments. Effective job search strategies help ensure the mission of the school - to train for employment, and as you pointed out - to meet and surpass regulatory guidelines. Great point that employed grads are very likely to repay their loans. Also Alumni will tell you about externships, job openings, and they can return to school to help staff. Another reason to set up an active Alumni Community at your school. I think MaxK offers a course on how to do that! Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
