GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Success of graduates in the workplace is the primary reason most students select a private career college. From the time a student begins class at Oregon Culinary Institute, the primary emphasis is on developing skills that promote employability and contribute to success in the professional work world. We pride ourselves not only in the quality of the educational experience we offer, but also in the level of effort expended by our Career Services department to assure the greatest placement opportunity for all. We are proud of our record in maintaining a high rate of placement for graduates employed in their chosen career fields, and are committed to continuing to improve placement outcomes.

GRADUATE JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE
We maintain a working relationship with employers who hire Oregon Culinary Institute graduates on a regular and consistent basis. We also maintain a database of employers who have expressed an interest in hiring our graduates, or who might be potential employers. From these contacts we work with company and agency recruiters to facilitate interviews for graduates. We are available to provide job search assistance for temporary, part-time, and full-time jobs. We can assist you with setting or revising job search and career goals, locating opportunities and finding additional sources of job leads, and de-briefing of employment interviews.

PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE
It is important to set career goals, identify job opportunities, network, establish job search and interview techniques, learn to write resumes and cover letters, maintain a professional appearance, and learn about post-interview follow-up. We can help you in these areas as well.

IN-SCHOOL JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE Students interested in part-time employment while attending school are encouraged to contact the Career Services Department. The department maintains listings of employers who frequently seek college students for part-time employment.

"About halfway through OCI I started on pantry at Ten 01 Restaurant in the Pearl District. It was the best step I could have taken, besides coming to OCI. I definitely credit OCI with getting my confidence level up and getting my knife skills going and knowing all the basics." – Ingrid Chen, OCI Graduate Culinary Arts, and Ten 01 and Clyde Commons, Portland, OR
