I had a student that came out of his interview with Intel, met me in the hallway with tears in his eyes, and said, "I got the job!" That's why I keep coming back every day.
Career Services
WTC’s primary purpose is to train people who will be capable of successfully pursuing a career in their chosen field. The programs are designed to train the inexperienced person for entry level employment and upgrade experienced people in their respective fields.
–Steve Boyce, EET Instructor
Western Technical College places great importance on assisting graduates in starting their careers. Their success is a reflection of the school's success. Prior to graduating, students attend EP-101 "Employment Preparation" taught by the Career Services Department Staff, who are in constant contact with employers seeking qualified graduates.
In these special classes, students are required to demonstrate personal and job-related behavioral skills both orally and in written format, resume construction, employment application, appropriate dress, persuasive interviewing techniques and mannerism. Students are also required to undergo a "mock" interview with an employer in their field of study or can be videotaped. Because of WTC's innovative class scheduling, graduations occur every month. This system affords our graduates more individual attention and gives them an advantage over graduates from schools that have only one or two large graduating classes per year.
We welcome you to visit with one of our Career Service Representatives and let them show you our Graduate Placement Summary, which shows the percentage of graduates placed. In addition, our graduates are placed in some of the best and most prestigious companies in El Paso. Visit our school to see a list of employers. You will be impressed and confident that our Career Services Department can help you achieve your goals!
