What is the Classroom Structure Like?
The Career College classroom is structured with a fluctuating staff to student ratio based on student needs and aligned with current research. This classroom structure fosters a learning environment conducive to individualized instruction for our students.
What are the Program Outcomes?
Data Collection
Continuous student-specific data is taken for all Turning Pointe Career College students on program outcomes and skill domains. Data collected in all areas is analyzed regularly to maximize instruction and behavioral interventions and also used to make adjustments to student programming as necessary.
Certificate of Completion
Students will be enrolled for full-time coursework. Upon completion of all required coursework, students will have the opportunity to interview with an Employment Partner. Certified students will be eligible for Career Mentor Support.
Career Mentoring
This is designed to provide on-the-job support to students in their transition from the classroom to a career. The goal is to provide one-on-one support in the work environment while training and/or after the individual has been hired by a Turning Pointe approved employer. Students who have completed all required coursework and their tuition payments are in good standing are eligible to receive 10 hours of career mentoring following graduation.
Family Partnership
The involvement of parents and families in the education process is critical to students’ success. Parents are active participants in their student’s education through meetings and student conferences, and on-going collaboration. Staff communicates with students and families via email and newsletters on a regular basis. Remaining connected is essential to maintain program consistency and work together towards student progress and accomplishments.
Currently, over 90% of graduates secured employment after completion of the program.
Thanks to diversity-minded employment partners, students of the Career College are exposed to various environments and opportunities for work. Students’ interests and aptitudes are paired for training that increases the likelihood of success in their chosen career paths.
As advocates ourselves, Turning Pointe employs graduates in our own Uniquely Pawfect enterprise that is driven by a Career College graduate. These businesses offer ongoing training and opportunities for continued skill acquisition, and simply to make the team at Turning Pointe stronger, happier, and more well-rounded.
