GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE SERVICES

Southern California is one of the fastest growing job markets in the country. InterCoast Colleges maintains a Career Services Coordinator to assist graduates in contacting companies in order to secure employment. Students attending the Auxiliary Site will work with the Career Services Coordinator at the Burbank Branch Campus for all job placement activity. It should be noted that InterCoast Colleges does not guarantee employment upon completion of any program. The Career Services Coordinator acts as a liaison between the classroom and the employment community. All graduates will be considered to need placement assistance unless an appropriate signed student waiver of placement assistance is in their file. Graduates waiving placement assistance may later resume placement assistance by notifying the Career Services Department that they again wish to be placed in an active job seeking status. Successful job search is dependent upon a self-confident and well prepared applicant with a pre-planned strategy, and the Career Services Coordinator will assist in this effort. The Career Services Coordinator will work diligently with each graduate until he/she is placed, assuming cooperation on the part of the graduate. The Career Services Coordinator assists graduates to find employment opportunities in their career fields, matching their training, capabilities, and experience. The Career Services Coordinator is also available to assist in future years when an InterCoast Colleges alumnus contemplates a change in jobs. ICC graduates are eligible for career services assistance lifetime. In order to effectively utilize career services, graduates must agree to the following:

1. A completed resume, in final form, must be submitted to the Career Services Coordinator.

2. Graduates must keep the Career Services Coordinator advised on any change in name (in case of marriage), address, telephone number, temporary absence from the area, and employment status. If an appointment with an employer or with the Career Services Coordinator cannot be kept, a call must be made to the Career Services Coordinator changing or canceling the appointment.

3. The student is asked to make weekly contact with the Career Services Coordinator during the job search period so as to communicate all job search activity. The Career Services Coordinator must be notified of the results of all interviews and job acceptance.

4. Graduates must have the legal right to accept employment in the United States. International students are not eligible for employment in the United States and will not receive job assistance.

5. Graduates who default on their student loan received as an ICC student, or who owe a past due tuition balance, or refuses to follow the career services policies are ineligible for assistance.
