From Classroom to Career
Our Career Services department is designed to prepare you for the job market and to help you succeed in your new career. We recognize that knowledge learned in the classroom isn’t the only aspect of a quality education. We believe it is important for you to gain hands-on experience as well.
How BTI's Career Services Help
- Meet with an Admissions Representative: As part of the admissions process, you will meet with an Admissions Representative to ensure that you are placed in the program that is the best fit for you.
- New Student Orientation: Once you are admitted, but before classes start, you will attend an orientation where you will meet other students, staff and faculty, who are all there to help you take steps to your new career.
- Career Portfolio: As you complete your education, you will have access to our employment placement services. As part of that service, we will work with you to develop a Career Portfolio where you will combine your class projects and letters of recommendation to show potential employers.
- Externships and Practicums: One of the most important aspects of your resume that can help you find a job when you graduate is having hands-on experience. Many of our programs provide you learning opportunities through an externship or practicum, a place where you can apply the things you learned in the classroom.
- Career Workshops: In these career workshops held throughout the year, our placement assistance department provides tips on how to best present yourself on paper and in person. These employment placement services empower you through solid resumes and interview skills.
