What Is Job Placement Assistance?
Job placement assistance gives students and graduates practical support building the skills they’ll need to search, apply, and interview for jobs. Placement assistance is different from guaranteed employment. EIT supports graduates through the job-search process but does not promise a specific salary or employment outcome.

|---|---|
| Job-search and interview instruction | Guaranteed employment |
| Resume and application-letter assistance | A specific employer or job |
| Assistance establishing job interviews | A specific salary |
| Career support for graduates | Automatic placement after graduation |

EIT provides job-searching and interviewing techniques to help graduates better understand how to approach employers, discuss their skills, and respond to common interview questions. Interview prep also coaches students to think through how they will explain their technical training to hiring managers with different educational backgrounds.
