You're right Jay. A successful placement department doesn't wait until the last day of class to work with students on career planning and job search. Employment skills and mind set start on the first day of school. At least that is what we see works very well. A strong placement department is felt throughout the school. The placement department can also run an alumni association. We see the many benefits of a formal placement department. It's a way for increased enrollments and job openings. And it doesn't take a lot of work - mostly staying in touch with grads. Thanks, Susan
