For-Profit College in Calif.: Hire One of Our Graduates, and We’ll Give You $2,000

The University of Antelope Valley, a for-profit college north of Los Angeles, is offering to pay employers $2,000 for each graduate they hire, the Los Angeles Times reports. The offer is valid only this month, and only for employers that hire graduates to fill jobs that match their fields of study, the newspaper says. Some colleges are under pressure from federal regulators to improve their job-placement rates.
