Make sure to accurately document all interactions. Make sure to use detailed, clear concise statements. The MAPP outline will help when writing case notes.

My take away was accuracy is important. In order to have accuracy in the reporting particular workflows and standards need to be in place. Always communicate between departments and double check the data is entered correctly.

There needs to be clearly defined set of parameters to avoid errors, personal interpretation or opinions. There are many variables when considering a student placed, if there are no clear cut requirements reporting will not always be accurate. Using a third party verifier can help with accurate reporting and consistency. Also conducting interviews with the student as opposed to a survey will help the university have a better and more accurate response rate from students

I realized the employment reporting isn't just for my own university or my own use, it plays a part in funding, evaluating program effectiveness, and our students becoming gainfully employed.
