Great Great that students are introduced to placement on orientation day. Actually we think placement people should sit in admissions departments and start talking to applicants during the admissions process!! We also believe in the value of PLANS. So we think the individual mission statements and other projects are a requirement. You have said it so well about the value of ongoing and consistent and persistent employment skills training. It takes time to learn the skills and build up the required self confidence to be effective. How are your placement rates given this outstanding effort? Reminder to measure every initative. Thanks, Susan
