There are different ways to measure placement percentages.
* You can measure percentage of enrolled students who get hired.
* You can measure percentage of graduates who get hired.
* You can measure percentage of students who get hired making more than $50k/yr.
* You can measure percentage of students who get hired making more than $50k/yr within six months of graduation.
Those are all different placement rates.
Say 100 students enroll, 80 graduate, 60 get hired.
Investors would want to know what percent of students get hired (because you outlay costs for 100 students and get repaid for 60). The answer is 60/100 = 60%.
Student outcomes reports say what percentage of graduates get hired. So you say 60/80 = 75%.
Those numbers are different. They are also both completely correct.
