What Happens After Graduation?
We offer job placement assistance to all our graduates, and it’s a process that starts even before graduation. We encourage our students to regularly attend classes, arrive on time, and do well in their studies. These habits help our students attract potential employers so that they have a better chance of landing the jobs that they want. It’s important to understand, though, that employment is not guaranteed upon graduation.
We are also proud of the network that we have built over the years within the healthcare community. This network allows us to help our graduates be placed in externships (workplace training programs) while they are still in school. This network and these externship experiences are stepping stones toward employment opportunities for our students once they have completed their studies. Employers in the area know that Smithwood puts students through rigorous education and that our students are well prepared upon graduation.
