Are You Ready For School?

The EOC, Inc. Academic Specialists have put together a helpful list of school shopping tips for you. Here are some questions to ask yourself before selecting a training program, college, or university:

• What type of career am I looking to begin or continue?
• How much time do I want to spend getting my education?
• How much money can I afford to spend on my education?
• How far am I willing to commute to school?
• Can I relocate?
• What schools are in my area?
• Which school has my desired program of study?
• Does the school have up-to-date facilities and equipment required for my program?
• Does the school provide all the training I need for professional certification, if my career goal requires it?
• Is the school accredited?
• Is it licensed to provide the program I want?
• Does the school provide job placement services?
