This module highlighted how important accreditation and employment reporting are for both schools and students. Accreditation builds trust and helps students feel confident in their choice of institution, while employment reporting shows what happens after graduation, like job placement and salaries. Also, it helps schools improve by understanding what employers need and how graduates are doing. Both play an important role in maintaining quality programs and making sure students obtain skills that are useful for their future careers.
