- Guarantee Disclaimer
The Student Placement Assistance Department is committed to assisting graduates find suitable employment. Learnet Academy or its Student Placement Assistance Department cannot, however, guarantee employment to any student, recent graduate, or alumni of this school.
- Staff Interaction
Instructional staff is always aware of the fact that they are to do more than "impart facts." Every part of their classroom function needs to be pointed toward a future job. In reality, sitting in that classroom or lab is that student's first job. It is "pre-on-the-job-training."
- Placement Process
Placement includes two elements: casual placement while the student is attending school and career placement after the student graduates. The placement process does not start a month prior to graduation, but with the first contact the student has with the school.
Part of the "tour" of the school for prospective students should include a stop at the Placement Department. That student should be greeted immediately by personnel in a friendly manner, indicating that they are looking forward to working with that student, should the student be lucky enough to be admitted to the school. It is absolutely CRITICAL that the person greeting prospective students NEVER appear that the new student is a bother, because this will be the very first contact that student received with staff.
Part-time Admissions Representatives should be identified and should emphasize that they are looking forward to working with the student on living expenses and borrowing less money.
