Employment Rate Methodology
YTI Career Institute calculates an Employment Rate for each program using a formula specified by our accrediting agency, the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). The employment rate formula uses a cohort of students who began school during a given 12 month reporting period and proceeded to graduate as the denominator. The numerator is composed of graduates in the cohort who self reported employment in their field of training, or a related field, which was verified by the school. The rate is calculated for the cohort after 150% of the program length has elapsed for all students in the cohort, with an additional three month allowance for placement related activities and three months for addition employment confirmation activities. Graduates who were excluded from this employment calculation fall into one of the following categories: further education at an accredited institution of higher education (postsecondary) on at least a half-time basis, death, incarceration, active military service deployment, the onset of a medical condition that prevents employment, or international students who have returned to their country of origin.
The cohorts used for the 2018 reporting year are on the charts below.
