4. Key Factors Driving Gainful Employment Student loan debt is increasing in all sectors of higher education For-Profit institutions graduate students with the highest average debt and the highest % of students with debt Lack of consistent, valid data on the ROI and the value- added received by our graduates Bias against For-Profit Educational Businesses

5. The Challenge To provide student-centered, career-focused educational programs while reducing student loan debt

6. Measuring the Outcomes of the Operation We have not tracked outcomes in a consistent manner. We do not have verifiable data to support our claim that we add value to the lives of our students. The gainful employment regs will require us to track data to demonstrate the eligibility and accessibility of our programs.
