Placement follow-up:

While your new job is the goal, our assistance doesn’t end there. After you have had time to adjust to your new position, we want to follow-up to ensure you are satisfied with the job and your new place of employment.

Externships

At Summit College, we provide the hands-on training you need to elevate your career. We believe that the best way to really learn is by doing, and that is why we offer an externship program.
