Purpose: The purpose of this plan is to ensure that proper procedures are in place and followed to assure that placement services are both systematic and continuous. Students will be assisted with job placement. This will be achieved with guidance and assistance from their Instructor/Employment Counselor and the Job Development Placement Counselor. Objective: To assist students to attain training related employment. However, no guarantee of placement will be implied and there will be no charge to the student for such services. The person responsible for this plan is the Academic Dean. Procedure: Work Readiness Concepts are taught as an integrated part of each program’s curriculum. Instructor/Employment Counselors begin working with students on their job attainment plan from enrollment and continuously throughout the curriculum. The Academic Dean of each program insures there is current demographic, employment and contact information collected from students at each term. This information is reviewed for completeness, corrected as necessary and placed in the “Placement Book” for each specific class, by the Academic Dean. The “Placement Book” should contain the following: current employment information, Program Outcome forms and Verification of Employment forms. Work Readiness documents are to be provided to the Record Department by the Academic Dean, to be filed in the student’s permanent record. The job search and verification is documented on the appropriate form as part of Work Readiness II. The assigned Instructor/Employment Counselor will review the job search documentation providing feedback to the student regarding progress, job leads, performance, etc. As part of the advisement and coaching, it is expected that students will make as many contacts and engage in as many interviews as it takes to obtain a training related position.

For students who exit from a program for any reason, all paperwork pertaining to that student must be turned in as follows by the Academic Dean: Program Outcome form and any supporting placement documentation must be provided to the Record Department. If student is transferring to another class, the Academic Dean, must ensure that the placement paperwork is transferred to the appropriate Placement Book of class the student is now attending. Once transferred, it is the responsibility of the current Instructor/Employment Counselor to continue following this student for placement purposes. Person Responsible:Director / Dean of Student Services Evaluation: At the conclusion of Work Readiness I & II for each program, the Academic Dean will evaluate and take appropriate action as necessary. Follow Up: After training completions, the Job Development Placement Counselor will provide quarterly placement statistics at management meetings between Academic Dean and Job Placement department.

POLICY:    Learning Remediation processes are integrated into ANHO Nursing Curriculum

Procedure:

1. All nursing students are provided with a Learning System to use throughout their nursing program and for up to one year post-training completion. These materials require on line access either at home or at ANHO. These materials are supplemental to approved text books, text study guides, classroom work and homework assignments.

4. Practice Tests may be taken at various times throughout the program to:
   1. enhance the student’s ability to work with computerization and Internet based programs in the learning process;
   2. provide the student with immediate feedback relative to his/her understanding of specific subject material through the use of on-line testing. This is followed by the identification of those areas within specific subjects where the student is weak in his/her knowledge. This then allows the student to develop an on line focused review to address those deficits and be able to intensify learning in those areas of identified need.
   3. Provide incentive to the student to achieve a satisfactory grade on the final subject exam or subject SAT.
5. Should a student fail a course, it is imperative that the Learning Remediation materials are to be utilized for remedial purposes (as well as the learning opportunity sessions on Fridays). Utilization of on line materials for learning purposes will be monitored by the instructor as well as participation in learning opportunity sessions on Fridays.
