Job Placement/Career Services

This Department is headed up by a Manager with at least five (5) years of job development and related experiences. Job placement starts the day a student arrives at the Institute. The Institute’s Career Services Office focus on helping low income students, individuals, unemployed and underemployed youth and adults and disadvantaged communities to find, create, or access employment and acquire assets which will allow them to escape poverty by accessing education or vocational training

The Career Services Office operates several projects designed to help low-income students, and other individuals to develop the job-related skills they need to find adequate employment which will be living wages and help them achieve economic independence.

This office also helps our students to develop the life skills they will need to achieve success—whether in self-employment or employment.

We also provide linkages with social service agencies to help students and other to overcome barriers they face to economic independence, including personal financial management training, job readiness, homeownership education, alcohol/substance abuse counseling, etc.
