Job Placement Assistance
AST's Career Services Department assists all American School of Technology graduates in obtaining employment in their areas of specialization. Satisfactory completion of program course work and development of personal qualities by the student are the first steps in the employment process.
AST's Career Services Department works with each student prior to graduation to determine areas of employment interest and to explore placement options. Students are then notified of appropriate opportunities as they arise. Job placement assistance is available to every American School of Technology graduate in good standing. Although the ultimate responsibility remains with the student to obtain employment, the Career Services Department works diligently in assisting students in critiquing resumes, holding mock interviews, hosting internal job fairs and professional development seminars and providing job leads. Job placement assistance is available to AST graduates throughout their career, and at no additional cost.
