The Career Services department at Academy College is committed to assisting our students, graduates, and alumni in their search for the best employment opportunities. It is also committed to providing the employers with whom we work, the best possible candidates. We provide lifetime career services for our graduates and alumni.

The Career Services office contains career planning materials including occupational specialties, employment forecasts, résumé preparation, networking skills, interview, and follow-up techniques. Academy College maintains a current database of prospective employers for each career field we offer.

Academy College aids students in finding part-time and full-time employment. We encourage and assist our students to find career-related jobs while attending school for these reasons:

1. It speeds the development of the students' abilities and familiarizes them with the kind of environment in which they will be employed after graduation.



2. Students are able to support themselves financially as well as combine study with practical application.



3. Students who have gained work experience in their field while attending school can usually find positions more easily when they graduate and are able to secure more advanced positions; or in some cases, they are able to remain with the same company upon graduation, switching from a part-time to a full-time capacity.



4. Students in our accounting program who plan to become CPAs are required to meet definite requirements for work in a public accounting environment. Placing students in a CPA or public accounting firm while in school can help them reach this goal more quickly.

Students may also register for an Internship to gain valuable on-the-job experience. Students will develop job searching and résumé writing skills in their program core courses.

After completing these courses, students may then request that the career coordinator evaluate their employment potential. Employment references, employment history, educational background, personality, and other pertinent data are assembled so that the placement coordinator can help students find the best possible positions.

Academy College agrees to provide students the full benefit and cooperation of its career service. Assistance will be provided in the areas of job opportunity postings; however, Academy College does not guarantee placement.

Students agree to provide notices of job acceptance and salary data, and gives Academy College the right to use their name and/or photograph in any of the schools advertising. In addition, students agree to provide notice of professional examinations taken (CPA, MCP, FAA, etc) and certifications (including Microsoft) received.
