Nicole, We also agree that placement impacts on every measurable area of the career school. Great placement numbers say a school is great and is the first question a prospective student has. We think that placement figures should excded regulatory requirements. When you focus on placement you reach out to the community for jobs. At the same time you learn about what training is needed in the future and what training you can offer current employees of the companies near you. Placement is a measurable goal that all faculty and staff can be involved in. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
