Student Services

North Central Texas College operates a placement service through the Access Office to help students find part-time employment in the community while pursuing their studies at NCTC. Upon graduation from NCTC, students are given assistance with seeking employment. This service is facilitated by the Job Placement Recruiter who, in conjunction with the Technical faculty and the Tech-Prep Program,
will assist students in gaining work experience in nontraditional careers, as well as internships with local businesses and industry.

Interested students should come by the ACCESS Offices on the Gainesville and Corinth Campuses to set up a job file containing information such as work preferences, special skills, and times available for work. Students at the Bowie Campus should contact the ACCESS Office at the Gainesville Campus. A resume should be submitted.

The Job Placement Recruiter will:

Make personal contact to review the resume and other information in the job file.
Advise students of job openings and help arrange interviews with perspective employers
Assist students in developing resumes, preparing for job interviews, dressing for success, completing job applications, reviewing job search techniques, and writing letters.

Current job openings for all NCTC students are posted on the bulletin boards at the various campuses. For information, contact the Job Placement Recruiter at 940-668-7731, EXT. 4344.
