Job Hunting

At LWIT, a full-time Placement Specialist provides a link between employers who wish to hire students and students who are actively seeking full or part-time employment. A team approach, involving the placement specialist, instructors, and program advisory committee members, provides up-to-date information about employment trends to students. Free lifetime employment assistance is available for all LWIT graduates. While the LWIT placement specialist pursues job placement for graduates, placement is not guaranteed.
