My project:
My first choice is project B. The individual project I would like to work for my own campus would be related to Career Development.
I believe the reason why I would like to work on a project as it relates to Career Development would be because I currently work in very close proximity to the Director of Career Development. I believe if I understood more of the compliance issues that department faces as they pertain with Accreditation. I would be a much more well-rounded Allied Health Program Director. My goal is to meet with the Director of Career Development Weekly Friday’s at 1:00 p.m. and discuss and collect the following: Employer Survey collection, data, integrity of data, sharing of data among Education and other departments to ensure that the results of the data are reviewed and implemented in order to have a stronger curriculum, train instructors and provide them feedback based on those responses. My accurately collecting this data we can ensure we have a stronger curriculum that will allow the Career Development Department to meet and achieve placement accreditation standards for our current Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) accreditors. In addition to that, I will review Placement Verification Process and educate my team on the process to ensure compliance is maintained with our accrediting bodies.
Please see grading rubric below. This assignment should be at least 4-5 paragraphs each and very thorough. Make sure you integrate real-life applications to support key points.

Reasons for not convicting them remain a mystery because as far as we are concerned no one is above the law and any wrongdoer must be convicted whatsoever. Too big to jail is a notion that has been created to show that the more money you have, the more untouchable you become.
There are several ways in which this issue can be brought into a consensus. Two of the most used ways are reaching a settlement and secondly, is by taking them to jail (Strickler, 2017). The two are different and settling does not serve the same…
