Jumpstart Your Career at the Academy of Court Reporting and Technology - Cleveland, OH.
After high school you are faced with many options. Decisions you make now will impact the rest of your life. Many high school graduates approach the few years after high school without a real plan. They enroll in school or continue to work in their high school job. Many students embrace their newly found freedom enjoy life for a while. Very few students consider all their options and make a well-informed decision. You may enjoy a short period of freedom, but be careful not to risk losing the potential you have to jumpstart your career right after high school. The sooner you enter your career field the greater opportunity you have to begin building your future as a successful and satisfied adult.
Many students enjoy this freedom after high school for a short period of time, and then face the reality of our economy and the costs of being an adult. Suddenly, their job becomes boring, the pay scale does not allow them to do the things they want to do, and they face the fact they have little chance for advancement. What they are seeking is a career. Careers differ from jobs, in that they provide; advancement opportunity, a sense of passion for the work, long term financial stability, and the ability to invest in your future. Careers offer a long term direction for a person to specialize and continually improve their skills in a field they enjoy.
At the Academy of Court Reporting and Technology, we take career planning seriously. Our focus is much different than a community college or a large university. We enroll future graduates who are determined to pursue a career field that will return the long term rewards of stability, career satisfaction, and personal growth. We help students begin that journey from the first day they come to our school. Initially we have a career planning session, where we explore how our school and the student are a good fit for one another. If accepted to the Academy, a student will expect small class sizes and hands-on classroom experiences. Students have the chance for one-on-one coaching in not only the technical skills for their field, but in preparing for the career search when they graduate. They develop interviewing skills, learn professional attire expectations, network with industry professionals and create targeted resumes. Academy students graduate with the technical skills and confidence to enter their career upon graduation. During the end of their program, students take part in an internship, providing the field experience potential employers are seeking in new graduates. The Academy of Court Reporting and Technology offers lifetime career services to graduates. Our commitment extends beyond the time they are in our program, providing professional development support for their entire career.
As you compare the many options you have in your "Life after High School" you want to look for the options that provide you most advantage. The Academy of Court Reporting and Technology can provide you this advantage over your classmates because we focus on your career, not just your education.
