At ETC, we realize that having a defined career or occupational goal provides direction for the student and increases success in any academic or training program. All instructional and counseling services focus on helping the student define and attain realistic employment and personal goals. Assessments of basic skills, work values, career preferences, interests, and learning styles are available for students and provide useful information to individuals and instructors to monitor progress toward the realization of the students' goals.

Job placement and assistance is an integral part of ETC's programs. The Job Placement and Retention team works closely with instructors, counselors, and employers to facilitate job matching. Workshops and individualized counseling are offered on job readiness topics including developing career plans, creating an effective resume and cover letters, improving interview skills, completing applications, maintaining personal data, demonstrating proper dress, understanding work ethics and attitude, and actively engaging in the pursuit of a job.

In addition to workshops and individualized counseling, resources such as Career Kokua and Career Access software, a resource library, an employer job bank, and a job search computer lab with internet access are available to students.

ETC offers lifelong job assistance services to students who complete their training programs. For more information, contact Erin Loo, Job Placement Counselor, at (808) 844-2357.
