Factors to Consider When Evaluating Educational Services
Your clients will benefit most from job training programs that lead to stable, well-paying jobs. When you’re evaluating educational programs, ask about key metrics such as job placement rates, certification pass rates and employer partnerships. MedCerts Partner Solutions has an established track record of providing these benefits through nationally recognized healthcare training programs.
The educational services that matter most are those that lead directly to your clients landing jobs in their chosen fields. Programs that have established pathways to employment and offer support services to help students navigate their job search will be the most valuable.
Programs That Deliver Exceptional Value
Student support starts when clients begin the program, not when they end it. Adult learners typically need additional support and accommodations. Look for programs that offer services that will help your clients succeed in learning, such as personalized support and innovative instructional design.
The most valuable courses are those that teach students real-world, in-demand skills. With the current economic uncertainty and worry over artificial intelligence (AI) taking jobs, choosing a recession-proof career can ensure your clients are well-equipped with valuable skills, regardless of what the future holds.
Fields such as healthcare and information technology will always be in demand. Programs that offer industry-recognized certifications make it easier for your clients to qualify for well-paying jobs. Online classes allow students to work around family and work obligations, and those that offer skills-based programs prepare clients for the world of work. Internships take readiness a step further and give students practical experience that can give them a foot in the door with leading companies. MedCerts Partner Solutions gives students opportunities to launch their careers with organizations such as Penn Medicine and Sanford Health.
Warning Signs to Look For
Knowing what red flags to look for will help your clients avoid wasting their time in a program that won’t pay off in the end. While going to school for a four-year degree can be a good idea in some situations, your clients will likely benefit more from short-term programs that will quickly lead to marketable skills.
Avoid programs that don’t help your clients earn industry-standard certifications. More and more companies use AI to screen resumes, and you can help ensure that your clients’ resumes make the cut. With over 60 industry-standard certifications in IT and healthcare, MedCerts Partner Solutions offers a high-value, cost-effective avenue for job training.
Another red flag to look for is programs that don’t have a clear path to employment. Programs that graduate students without support systems in place, such as a career center, aren’t likely to lead to lucrative job offers.
Matching Your Clients With the Best Program
The final step to setting your clients up for success after job training is matching them to a program that suits their skills and interests. If your clients are outgoing and enjoy working with people, a program such as Behavior Technician Specialist may be a good fit. For clients interested in tech, a role such as IT Security Specialist may be a good path to help them discover. By helping them choose a program that fits their interests and puts them on a pathway to employment, you can set them up for long-term success.
