West
Coast Ultrasound Institute - Career & Student Services
Career Services
WCUI maintains
a policy of career assistance to all students who graduate. Although
we do not make job promises or guarantees of employment, the Career Services
Coordinator, makes an attempt to place every graduate.
The Career Services
Department offers assistance with resume development, interview techniques,
job search techniques, “dress for success” tips, and mock
interview practice sessions. In short, the goal of WCUI is to equip the
student with the skills (both technical and personal) necessary to obtain
employment in their given field. An ongoing, updated list of employment
opportunities (both local and nationwide) is also available to those students
who desire them.
The reputation
of WCUI will grow as its students are hired by responsible employers and
become active, respected members of the field. For this reason and out
of concern for our students and pride in our own work, the Career
Services Coordinator takes their role in placement assistance very seriously.
WCUI maintains verifiable records of initial employment of its graduates.
These records are kept for documentation in the student’s placement
file.
Student Services
Advising Students:
The faculty and staff
are available to help students with any problem that could have an
adverse effect on their ability to successfully complete the course. Problems
which
are beyond the scope of the staff will be handed on to various agencies
specializing in that area.
Housing and Child Care:
WCUI does not provide housing or child care
assistance.
Student Lounge:
The student lounge is located
inside the facility, providing students with a break room with a refrigerator,
microwave, and coffee maker. There are snack and beverage vending machines
located on the 5th floor.
Tutoring:
Tutoring is available to students
by submitting a written request to their instructor. A tutoring schedule
is determined by class and instructor availability. The request for tutoring
must be approved by the Director of Education, at no extra charge for
the student.
