STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
Under the supervision of the Director, the Institute student services are in place to assist students with their various needs. The goal of effective and worthwhile student services is to assist students and to directly involve the students in the affairs of the institution, fostering a sense of community among students, faculty and administration.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Healing Hands Institute is an institution that emphasizes not only academic and professional growth, but also personal development and the nurturing of each student. Coordinators serve as liaisons between students and the faculty/administration. It is the role of the Director to advise and mentor students with regards to academic and professional decisions. In addition, each faculty member is receptive to developing a professional, yet personal relationship with each student. As such, the students should feel comfortable, if the need arises, to seek advice of a faculty member with regards to academic and professional matters.
PLACEMENT SERVICES
Students who are approaching graduation should contact the Director. Students will be provided with accurate and timely information regarding the relationship of their programs of study to specific occupations and professions in Florida. Students will receive information about employers in the South Florida area. Students will also receive information about requirements of state licensure examinations for certain professions. While students are responsible for obtaining employment forms and scheduling interviews, Healing Hands Institute staff will assist students with identifying potential employers, notifications of job fairs, creation of resumes, and interview techniques. Healing Hands Institute cannot guarantee employment.
