An associate degree is an academic degree that students can obtain at junior colleges, business colleges, community colleges and universities. The course of study for this degree is typically two years. But all associate degrees are not equal. Choosing a career college that provides the career education needed together with assistance in finding a job would be ideal. The Associate of Applied Science Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA) does just that and more.
The Associate Degree program is different in many waysforemost is that the HCA program is basically a career education. After graduation from a college, a student should have a very clear understanding of what career they would like to pursue. Then finding a job will not be so much of a chore or a painful experience.
In today’s job market, the employer holds all the advantages. There are lots of very qualified and educated people out of work due to no fault of their own. In some businesses, employees are retained based on the number of years of employment i.e. seniority and not on how productive they were. In other words it is not necessarily fair or logical. Employers will have volumes of applicants to pick from.
To gain an advantage a student must undertake careful career planning. This should start with selecting a college that will truly help a student find a job. The Hubbard College of Administration, located in Los Angeles, offers a program that has both theory courses plus apprenticeships after each course. In addition, the HCA offers job placement assistance.
What is really important to the student is the career education that one gets by:
1. Studying the theory in such a way that there is full comprehension and understanding. Not just memorizing it to pass an exam.
2. Undertaking an apprenticeship at an operating business doing real life business assignments. This is the proof that the students know the material and he or she can apply it.
That is what employers are looking forpeople that can actually do work without having to be trained at additional expense. A further bonus to doing these apprenticeships or internships is that the students get exposed to different businesses, so when it comes to choosing that career it will not be a hard thing to do. They will have been to and worked in many different businesses, so they’ll have a very good idea of the one(s) that interests them.
