GACTC maintains year-round job placement assistance to completing students and recent graduates of our adult classes. This service builds on the job-seeking skills students learn in their vocational classes. In addition, the Job Placement Office sponsors an annual Spring Job Fair, as well as employment-related seminars and workshops throughout the year. What the Placement Office Offers to our Adult Students The CTC offers placement services to assist students in acquiring employment. This service is available to all eligible graduates. It includes:
The Job Placement Coordinator stays informed of the current needs and demands of local employers through contact with business offices and companies. The Career Services Office provides job leads to those students who meet the qualifications for the position. The school does not guarantee placement, but every effort is made to assist the student with his/her employment search. Placement records clearly illustrate the effectiveness of the school's efforts and the efforts of those students who apply themselves to their studies and job search activities. Job Placement Registration To register for job placement services, students must meet ALL of the following criteria:
An up-to-date listing of temporary, part-time and full-time job vacancies from businesses, private industry, and social services and government agencies is posted on the "Jobs Board" which is accessible to current students and graduates. Graduates are encouraged to register with the Placement Office so they will be notified of job openings relating to their chosen fields. Graduate PlacementsThe CTC compiles a database of graduates from the school who might be seeking employment. We assist employers in placing recently graduated students or graduates who wish to change employment. Our follow-up survey showing placements for adult students enrolled in the intergenerational and full-time adult programs in 2005-06 is available for review.
