Job-Seeking Skills
Support at Northwest Suburban College reaches outside of the classroom. On top of professional career training, you will also be provided with career placement services.
By contacting your advisor or the Career Services Department, you can get one-on-one career counseling, job-search support, and references to NWSC’s large network of professionals in the fields. You can also get practical job-seeking skills and resources that you can use immediately upon graduation, including proper resume and cover letter techniques, interviewing strategies, as well as information on job/career fairs.
Real-World Career Training
Most of the programs at Northwest Suburban College have an externship component, which is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field. The externship experience will prepare you by allowing you to use the skills you’ve learned in your training in a real, on-site environment.
Our program instructors and placement staff will work with you to determine career interests and where your skills and abilities may be best utilized during externship, to make sure you have the perfect fit.
Are you unemployed or underfunded? We may have a solution for you.
