We help you find a local employer that will give you the opportunity to practice what you have learned during college. Some of our students are able to obtain full-time jobs with their work experience sponsors or find jobs through contacts made during their work experience.

Our programs are designed for adults who may be working full-time or part-time with busy schedules; we offer full-time and part-time programs to fit your schedule.
