Career Services
The mission of the Career Services Office is to provide students and applicants with assistance in learning about the world of work, developing job search skills, and locating employment opportunities. This office seeks to assist students with developing strategies and techniques on how to become successful in a competitive and dynamic job market.
Career Services staff offer regularly scheduled seminars on topics such as career exploration, resume development, cover letter writing, and interviewing skills.
A variety of tools and services are available to students to help with their employment search. Pathful Explore and YouScience are available online to students and applicants. Both platforms offer comprehensive career interest assessments to assist in matching individuals to compatible career paths, as well as information including the latest data on jobs such as working conditions, hiring requirements, employment outlook by geographic area, and ways to prepare for employment. Athens Technical College partners with College Career Network, a career management program, where students and alumni will find a variety of tools to help create, present, manage, and share their professional credentials including resumes, cover letters, portfolios, and websites. College Career Network also provides up-to-date and relevant assistance with interviewing techniques and job search skills.
Employers are encouraged to contact the Career Services Office to post announcement of their job openings free of charge. Career Services requires that any recruiting organization or individual utilizing this service must abide by all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws, including Equal Employment Opportunity laws. Staffing agencies (third-party recruiters) may participate in posting their available positions only in the event there is no charge to students for successful placement.
Local and regional employers can list job positions for student consideration under the Information for Employers section of the career services website.
Career Services staff contacts alumni of Athens Technical College upon graduation to obtain feedback on employment outcomes. This feedback is collected to ensure that the college matches educational outcomes with the knowledge and skills required by employers so that our graduates thrive in a competitive job market.
