We have, every day, emails, phone calls, and faxes from Education Verification Companies calling to verify a job applicant’s diploma or transcript. No matter the age or post secondary education one of our graduates has, it still is necessary to confirm completion of High School.
A High School diploma is now regarded as the minimum a person must have in order to obtain a job. The task of verifying this credential has fallen to verification companies. Seldom do we get a call from the company itself.
The high school diploma has taken on the same significance as a drivers license.
