Student participation is a crucial part of the "collection" step in the Employment Verification process. Students are more likely to participate in a program when they have clear expectations for their role in the program and an understanding of why they are participating. My responsibility is to ensure students understand what specific types of assistance Career Services provides, in terms of meeting their short-term employment goals, as well as providing an expectation for their active participation to ensure our mutual success. Proper documentation is essential for accountability purposes here.
Once the student file is complete and they are considered properly "placed," additional verification by other members of the organization helps preserve the integrity of the designation. If mistakes are identified during internal audits, then maintaining a proper record of how this was identified and corrected is important for any future external audits.
