As fulfilling as graduating can be, it often leads to the same grand open-ended question — what's next? The potential the future holds is as frightening as it is exciting, which is why many trade schools offer Career Services to assist graduates through their transition to the job market. Berk Trade and Business School of Long Island City, NY, was founded in 1940, and they're dedicated to helping students take the first big step toward a post-graduation career. 

The primary objective at Berk Trade and Business School is the development of professional tradespeople — including plumbers and electricians — through a wide variety of training courses. At this trade school, students don’t have to wait until after they've completed their courses to start the job placement process. The journey begins well before the approach of final exams and graduation, as staff members from the Career Services department meet new students and get to know them right from the start. This allows them to cater their trade school experience to the individual better and ultimately provide the best possible career advice and guidance.

Some of the assistance offered includes career development, job placement orientation, help identifying and following through with job openings, information regarding specific opportunities, and a pre-graduation interview workshop. The Career Services department also brings in alumni and industry guest speakers to better illuminate what life is like after graduation. It's all about matching trade school students with the appropriate positions and maintaining communication throughout the application and interview opportunities that follow.

Once school ends, the real world begins, and Berk Trade and Business School wants all of their graduates on equal footing when it comes to finding technical careers.
