HCA offers career services to all students

What does it mean when a training course offers career services? It is a branch of the office taking the initiative to make sure students can find a position in the field that they have chosen. At Northeast Heavy Construction Academy, this type of service is available. Students complete their training course, receive certification, and are pointed in the right direction to obtain a position. They not only help the students learn how to find a job but actually place them if there are positions available that they know of.  
This part of the program is for free to students and not just for the year they graduate. If a student is in need of a position many years later, the school is willing to help them land a position if able. Skills for finding a job are of course covered in the initial training program. This includes writing a resume, searching for open positions, and going through an interview. HCA likes to be up to date on any open positions and refer their students old and new to them. Upon graduation, students receive a physical packet of information on positions in their specific area and how to get started in getting a job. Students are asked to report their hiring back to the school so that they can update the database and know that the schooling was a success.
When employers are happy with graduates of any school, they are more likely to contact the facility for more workers when they have open positions. This is vital for the training programs. HCA is a great training facility for heavy equipment operating and they have a high percentage of graduates working in the construction field.
