Student Services
Graduate Services –
The
Institute
is pleased to offer assistance to students seeking
employment opportunities. Students must realize,
however, that the school does not promise jobs nor can
be it held responsible if a student fails to find
employment. To receive benefit of the Graduate
Services Department, students are required to register
with a Placement Counselor, and be in good standing with
the Financial Aid Office. Our Graduate Services
Program includes the following:
Scheduled Interviews
– The Institute will assist students with placement
contacts during the final portion of their training.
Only students who have successfully completed all
required elements of the Institute are scheduled for
interviews.
Orientation –
An orientation will be held for all new
students for each program. ALL NEW STUDENTS ARE
REQUIRED TO ATTEND. The orientation session
acquaints new students with school policies, procedures,
and services. At this time, class schedules are
distributed and reviewed. During this time,
students will be required to read all pertinent
information and will be given the opportunity to ask
questions.
Counseling Referral
–
Students experiencing problems in their personal lives
that threaten their success at the Institute are
encouraged to seek assistance from the Vice President of
Operations. The Institute has identified a wide range of
resources that are committed to helping students with
everything from assistance with paying tuition to
personal counseling. All inquiries will be handled
with confidence and will not be entered into a student’s
file.
The Institute
takes its responsibility to train students for the job
market very seriously; therefore, we insist that
students act and dress in accordance with proper
business etiquette. Student behavior must be
professional and courteous at all times.
