<p>My local community community college offers “gainful employment information” for its cerificate programs. They claim it’s required by federal student aid regulations. I have yet to figure out if that should apply to all degree programs or just certificates and why the difference. I emailed them about 3 weeks ago asking what percentage of graduates with a different certification were employed within 6 months of graduation and what their avg starting salary was. I’m still waiting for a response. </p>
<p>This is an example <a href=“http://www.ccp.edu/RTK/GE/GeographicInfoSystemCert.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ccp.edu/RTK/GE/GeographicInfoSystemCert.pdf</a></p>
<p>I don’t find this particular information useful at all. I can do the math to see what a program costs.</p>
