Eric, We also agree that placement services start on day one. But we feel that the placement people have to be pro active and actually start with keeping in touch with admissions. Let the admissions reps know current placement stats and exactly what services placement provides. A placement staff person might even be part of the admissions process. Then students need to be taught employment and job research skills on a daily basis. And be reminded in every class exactly why they are studying certain skills and theory and how it applies to the job they will get upon graduation. Thanks, Susan
