Michael, Yes it is still counts for the school when a grad gets a job under the NP category (meaning they claim to have obtained the job on their own, without direct help from the school). For the annual report, this would be reflected in the schools "Employment Rate" which includes all NP and P employed graduates. The Employment Rate is the better indicator of the success of the program. Unfortunately, this methodology assumes that a placement is only when the school directly helps the grad get a job (like providing the job lead). Thanks, JP Mehlmann
