The Institute places heavy emphasis on developing graduates who are sought after in the job market place. That emphasis might be categorized as follows:

1. Education in the specific, practical skills required by the Employer. This reduces the amount of time required to train a graduate to an employer’s particular situation. Accordingly, the Employer acquires a productive, cost-effective employee after a minimum orientation period.
2. Education in a selected cluster of occupationally related skills and knowledge. This fosters professional advancement and permits a smooth adjustment to the changing demands of the occupational world.
3. A knowledge and skills foundation that will provide graduates with a sufficient theoretical base to motivate and enable them to continue their own professional development.
4. Individualizing the curriculum content so that each student can take full advantage of the motivational fuel that comes from knowing one is truly acquiring skill and knowledge.
5. Assisting graduates in their job search efforts so that they promptly secure the kind of employment for which they have been prepared.
