Making the transition from student to professional can be difficult. Without job preparation you might miss out on employment opportunities or be unprepared for the professional world of work. In fact, many HR professionals have stated that over half of new employees exhibit a lack of professionalism in their first year, worsening of the work ethic and have too casual of an attitude toward work.
We are confident that TMCC graduates are well prepared for success once they maintain employment, but oftentimes the most difficult part is obtaining employment.
