markets in the country. InfoTech maintains a Placement Assistance Office to assist
completers in contacting companies in order to secure employment. The Placement
Assistance Office acts as a liaison between the completer and the employment
community. Information on job search techniques is provided to soon-to-be-completers
students and completers based on current needs of local businesses and industries.
Communications network between the placement coordinator, the staff, the
faculty, and various businesses and industries of the service area
To link with the various business and industries of the area which are likely to hire our
graduates, the Placement Coordinator visits new and existing sites every week. In
addition, employers are invited to campus twice per year for job fairs and advisory
committees. The faculty and staff work closely with the Placement Coordinator to give
information about the skills and abilities of the completer, so that a suitable match can
be made between the employment site and the completer. The Placement Coordinator is
given a progress report by the Registrar, so that the Coordinator can get an idea of the
students’ attendance habits and grades. Furthermore, the Instructors communicate with
the Placement Coordinator once per week in a daily faculty meeting so that background
information can be given regarding the completers.
File/listing of employers and employment opportunities.
The Placement Assistance Office is responsible for maintaining a file of all local
employment agencies, local employers related to occupational programs and employment
opportunities or job leads. NOTE: All completers will be considered to be in need of
placement assistance unless a signed student waiver of placement assistance, with a
written explanation, is in the student file. Completers waiving placement assistance may
still receive placement assistance by notifying the Placement Assistance Office that they
again wish to be placed in an active, placement-seeking category. A successful job search
is dependent upon a self-confident, well-prepared applicant with a pre-planned strategy.
The entire staff as well as the Placement Assistance Office will assist in this effort. While
