Placement Assistance
It is the goal of Healthcare Training Institute to provide assistance to every graduate to obtain an entry-level position in a career related to their chosen field of study. The school has a full-time employee to develop student career goals and job search missions. The Career Services Director performs all career placement assistance, student job interview preparation (e.g. mock interviews, presentation tips, etc.) job search preparation, the location of job opportunities as well as telephone and written contact recommendations. In addition, this individual performs externship placement affiliation responsibilities. The Career Services Assistant’s duties include resume preparation, faxing resumes and cover letters to prospective employers, etc. Students who do not wish to participate in job placement assistance must sign a Waiver of Job Placement Assistance form. The Career Services Director also contacts employers to verify the graduate’s employment status. Upon verification, announcement cards are prepared and posted on one of two bulletin boards dedicated to this purpose.
