Mindy,
Are you a foreign medical school?
Our school is strictly a 4 year MD program - modeled after the U.S. medical schools. We have an office of student clinical affairs which helps the students enter their clinical rotations after they pass their USMLE Step 1 exam and prepares them for their residencies.
At our campus we offer different types of trades ( AST,HVAC,EST,PFT, MAAT and MAT). The best way for me to be very informative about all the programs is to go back to the catalog and read the curriculum and also speak to the program directors about any changes that have been made if any.
Knowing the programs in depth and the market requirements will allow you to better serve the students and work with them on their career goals.
We offer several skill trade programs and allied health programs as well. The way I am able to learn about the jobs our students train for is by conducting research - stepping into any one of the classrooms and also by speaking to our career placement specialist. At our school we have a great amount of communication between all departments. So for me to learn about possible employment opportunities I can visulize it by viewing the tasks are students are training for, I can go directly to staffing specialist, Or I could view the programs catalog which list professional duties.
There are several programs offered at our school for both traditional for both traditional and non-traditional trainees.
Programs include the State Mandated Introductory to Child Care training (typically 40 hours), The FCCPC (Florida Child Care Professional Credential, formerly the CDAE), FCCPC/Director's Reneal trainings as well as a host of professional development training opportunities.
My school offers professional goldsmithing programs. The best way I learn about the jobs students train for is by asking employers what they are looking for in a graduate. I also talk to current students about the jobs they currently have.
We get many calls from jewelry wholesalers asking for our students, since they know the quality of their work.
Erin,
Excellent tip. Thank you for posting.
I make it a point to read our students' Graduate Profiles on our website to see where they work, what they do, and how they found the job. It has been a great resource for our Admissions team.
Emma,
Our sector is an exciting place to be.
Paula,
The students have an important goal and we need to work together to make it happen. The more resources from the beginning, the more success we have.
We offered 5 Diploma issuing program. As of the 1st of April we have expanded to 7 diploma issuing programs. All but one is 7 months in duration. The one Hospitality & Tourism is a 10-month program. I am excited about the new programs since it allows me to expand what we can offer our community.
We have different programs in the Medical Field and allied health and we learn about then thru training and seminars that we have here in the school.
We offer some Medical Field Programs such as Pharmacy Technician, Medical Assisting, Assocates of Science of Nursing. We always try to have communication with all departments to help students during the Admission Process. Students services prepare studnets to be sucessful and provide assitance throughout the student's experience at our institution.
Shavonne,
Speaking with faculty and sitting in on an occasional class is a great way as well.
Their several healthcare programs offered at my school and the best way to learn about each program is to meet with people who have familiarity and experience in each field.
Jenny,
Allied Health provides interesting classes to sit in on. Great experiences await you.
Carolyn,
Seeing the hands on experience from current students is a great way to show the prospective students what happens in a classroom beyond the books.
Tasheika,
Try sitting in on a class occasionally. You will be amazed!
Rene,
Excellent! The more you get involved in the school, the better you will be as an admissions rep. You will then be able to speak from personal experience.
