12 <br />increase their scores to our specified in -school minimum before the midpoint of their <br />program. <br />CAREER SERVICES + EXPERIENCE (Externships + Internships} <br />CCC has an extensive Career Services program and department set up to support <br />students in findingjobs in their new career fields. First we equip our students with the <br />best training for their career field. Then we provide exceptional support to help our <br />students secure satisfying jobs. We do this through the following five steps: <br />1. One Month Milestone: One -on -One Meeting (1) - Career Services meets with each <br />student one month into their program to get to know the student and to identify <br />obstacles to successful employment. In this meeting Career Services discusses <br />childcare, transportation and professional clothing options. Additionally they identify <br />any barriers that might keep an employer from considering the candidate. These <br />barriers might include visible tattoos, extreme dental work, piercings etc. In the past we <br />have helped secure students low-cost tattoo removal and in-kind dental and <br />ophthalmology services. This is our chance to make sure that nothing will stand in the <br />way of our students being able to secure jobs at the end of their program. <br />2. 6 -Month Milestone: One -on -One Meeting (2) — Career Services meets with each <br />student again at the six month point to develop placement goals. Together they work <br />with the student to identify what area of medicine, law or business the student is <br />particularly interested in. This gives the Career Services team some time to begin <br />generating job leads in those areas. <br />3. 6 -Weeks Prior to Completion Milestone: One -on -One Meeting (3) - Career Services <br />meets with each student again six weeks before they are scheduled to complete their <br />program to begin establishing their internship or externship site and prepping the <br />students for their interviews for these opportunities. By one month prior to completion <br />students will be placed into professional internship or externship sites that will allow <br />students to gain real work experience with the possibility of getting hired at the end. <br />4. 2 -Weeks Prior to Completion Milestone: Boot Camp - Students spend the last two <br />weeks of their education in a Career Services "Boot Camp". During this time students <br />create professional resumes, receive training on interview skills, and learn how to use <br />social networking as a tool to get a job. Each day is highly structured and follows a <br />rigorous curriculum developed by our Career Services team and Employer Advisory <br />Board and is constantly updated with the newest information in job search tactics. A <br />copy of our Career Services Boot Camp Curriculum is available upon request. It is also <br />during this two week period that employers come in and recruit our students. Students <br />will also be going out on job interviews that Career Services has arranged for them. Our <br />Career Services Department is staffed with two full-time employment professionals who <br />partner with our students to build their careers. <br />5. Customized Job Search: Once each student has been trained in how to launch and <br />manage their job search they are required to send out 15 resumes a day. Our staff <br />begins a custom job search for each student. CCC has a network of over 3,000 <br />employers in Orange County as well as 25 very engaged Employer Advisory Board <br />Members. We are constantly developing job leads from our network and matching <br />
