Who is the customer to the Career College student or employer?

For the most part, our students are making career changes or coming into an indusry fresh. Essentially, we could teach them anything we wanted--- and they would not know any better. But, if the new skills we have taught them are not in demand or employable. Win-Lose-Lose is an unacceptable approach to edcuation.

I am very involved with my students in their effort to connect with the community in their endeavors. My community contacts have hired some of my students in their area of interest. My field trips are design to introduce my students to meet the change makers who can change their lives.

Arisa,

I had not thought of doing a field trip to a potential employer, or someone who could change their lives in anyother way. What an interesting idea. Can you give some more specifics of where you take them and how you prepare them for the experience?
