Not only should you tell him where you’re applying, you should give him stamped envelopes addressed to the schools’ admissions office so that he can send them himself. Most employers don’t want an employee seeing their recommendations.

Remember to have him include your full name, address and social security number on all letters so that schools can match the recommendation to your file. (I’m assuming that since he’s a boss, he’ll already have your social security number; you do not need to give it to anyone who doesn’t already have it.)
