Amanda, Very good points Amanada. We totally agree that the Placement/Career Services Department is key to school and student success. All students in career schools enroll with the expectation of being 100% prepared to successfully seek employment. That means that almost as much time should be spent on employment skills training as training time in the career. Internships and paid supervised employment is essential to produce a work-ready graduate. The practical experience helps the student gain skills, familiarity with a real workplace, and the confidence for the job search. To seek funding,to meet regulatory requirements, and satisfy student expectations it is all about the job placement numbers. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
