Career Services
Atlanta Technical College is committed to assisting program graduates in the pursuit of suitable, rewarding and purposeful employment. While the college cannot guarantee all students employment upon graduation or completion of personal objectives, instructors and the career services staff constantly seek to assist students with employment opportunities.
The Career Services staff conducts workshops on a semester basis for students to disseminate information on the availability, scope, and use of career service resources. These resources include, but are not limited to, current and projected employment opportunities, information on employers to ensure that students have the widest possible choices of employment. Career Services also provides information on the employment process, preparing job search competencies and tools for graduates to present themselves effectively as candidates for employment.
The Career Services staff provides assistance to the Department of Institutional Effectiveness in conducting semester follow-up surveys of graduates and their employers. The responses from these surveys ensure that Atlanta Technical College is achieving its educational objectives of providing students with the skills necessary to perform in a competitive workforce environment.
The Career Services Office maintains a web-based job-posting site, Optimal Resume, (www.atlantatech.optimalresume.com) that is accessible to Atlanta Technical College students and alumni. The site is equipped with software that allows Atlanta Technical College students and alumni to prepare their resumes, do video interviews and search for employment. Potential employers may register on the site upon acceptance from the career services staff.
