Ohio Technical College offers employment assistance to each student successfully completing the curriculum as an integral part of its mission through the College鈥檚 Career Services Staff. This service is divided into two areas: part-time and career placement. While the College makes no guarantee of future employment, the placement process has been designed to make the most of a student鈥檚 energy and abilities.
Prior to graduation, each student participates in a mandatory job-seeking skills meeting with the Career Services Staff. This meeting covers resume writing, communicating with potential employers, interviewing skills, and an after interview follow-up. The student and Career Services Department then build career leads in the cities the student is interested in after graduation. It is through such interviews that students receive the job offers that lead to career employment.
As a part of each student鈥檚 initial registration at the start of class, he/she participates in an initial placement interview and completes an information form. It is through this form that the Career Advisor learns whether or not the student is interested in part-time employment while attending OTC and if so, what kind of work the student is qualified to do. The Career Services Advisor will then assist the student in finding part-time work.
