The complex nature of gainful employment lies not only in its quantifiable aspects, but also in the subjective perspective of the individual and the psychological factors that contribute to what it truly means to have meaningful work. This multifaceted observation adds depth and nuance to our understanding, highlighting that gainful employment encompasses more than mere statistics can capture. It underscores the importance of considering various dimensions when evaluating employment outcomes and emphasizes the need for a holistic approach when assessing its impact on individuals and society as a whole.
You need to be active on a state and national level in order to share your statistics with stakeholders (students, graduates, staff, employers, politicians, regulators and accreditors.

Very interesting to learn about how the definiition of gainful employment shifts depeding on perspective.

This also helps future students learn about the program/trade they are thinking of pursuing by learning the benefits and career impact they can potentially fulfill in the long run.
