Founded in 1978 as
American College of Optics, the school became American Career College in
1993, to accommodate an expanding curriculum and growing student
population. After graduating, many of its students go on to find good entry-level
healthcare positions in their fields. This success has been
attributed to the qualified faculty, modern facilities, employer-driven
curriculum and employment assistance (American Career College cannot
guarantee employment). For more information, visit.

Golding said his view is based on the comments of youngsters with whom he has spoken, who seem to lack information about their chosen fields of study. “When you ask ‘why you chose this particular course?’ the reasons you get would amaze you,” the prime minister said of university students. He was speaking two Wednesdays ago at the launch of the Special Youth Employment and Training Project, a new programme that seeks to train and employ 10,000 unattached young people over the next four years. Golding noted that while some people with qualifications cannot find employment, vacancies in other fields went unfilled. “I don’t get a sense that people are selecting their pursuits with proper guidance. There are people who are electing to place themselves in a cul de sac, where the opportunities are not there. There are other areas that take up five, six, seven pages of advertisements in the (newspaper) every Sunday, pleading for persons to come forward.

The topic of the show will focus on the economic crisis and how the University is developing ways to support its current and potential students as well as tips for professionals who are starting a degree program and how a degree can advance their careers. "Whenever there is an economic downturn, people are inclined to reassess their career paths," said Ken Dawson, a show host. "Over the years in helping employees transition during times of employment dislocation and redeployment, we have often seen returning to school become a compelling option for career growth.

After One Career, Boomers Look to Return for an Encore

“Flexibility is not just about the number of hours you work
but about having control over your time,” Segal says. “The type of work you do and
the organization you work in can increase that control, even if you’re working full
time. ”
Laws that constrain post-retirement employment and corporate
policies mandating traditional work schedules also pose obstacles to encore careers,
but Segal thinks the necessary changes can be made. “In the early 1900s, adolescence was identified as a new stage
of life, and a whole group of programs were created for that,” she says. For encore
careers, “We need to help social sector employers, nonprofits, government and others
become aware, create pathways and training programs for individuals and help individuals
find ways to hook up with employers. ”
Such pathways are being built. The federal Partnership for
Public Service, aimed at bringing talent into government, makes a point of recruiting
50-year-old-plus workers.
