Student success after graduating is important to us. While your typical community colleges have placement offices, the Career Services Department at Swedish Institute prides itself on being present, visible, and diligent in guiding students with their individual career planning.
Our Career Services team helps students to craft the most effective employment search strategies, learn to write effective resumes, and sharpen interviewing skills so that students can make a favorable first impression with prospective employers.
