The College strives to be a resource for employers and employees. Job opportunities received by the College are posted throughout the building and electronically on the College’s website. It is not uncommon for funeral homes from across the United States to recruit new graduates, so those who are the most willing to move will likely have better success in finding placement. The College will assist a student in obtaining suitable employment upon his or her graduation whenever possible. However, obtaining suitable employment is the primary responsibility of the graduate. The College cannot guarantee placement following graduation. An alumnus who wishes to find new employment or a funeral home that needs a new employee should contact the college as well for assistance.
