Career Counseling and Placement Office

The Career and Placement Office provides career and occupational exploration and individual career counseling. Students and alumni can use Choices CT, a career exploration and planning software program and Alex, a data base of job opportunities. A “Job Market” binder of current full-time and part-time job listings is also available. Many employers who hire NHTI graduates list new positions in the Job Market binder. Students who secure part-time positions in their major field of study or have practicum or internship experiences while attending the Institute increase their chances of securing employment after graduation.

Assistance with job placement and college transfer is also available. Students continuing to higher levels of education comprised about 20 percent of the graduating class.

While graduates of the Institute are prepared to enter a national labor market, 95 percent of those working full-time took jobs in New Hampshire with 84 percent working in jobs directly related to their program of study. Through the concerted efforts of the faculty and staff at the Institute, placement services continue to be very effective. Assistance with resume writing and job search techniques is an ongoing service through the Career Counseling and Placement Office.

It is recommended that students become acquainted with these services during their first semester. The Career Counseling and Placement Office is located in the Student Center room 227.
