Student Ambassador Program

This program encourages student classroom leaders to act in a peer-to-peer support network through the school’s Student Services department. Efforts by the Ambassadors help to support and energize a student’s will to succeed in the classroom.

For the students, the Merrillville campus provides the following benefits:

Hands-on Training

It is our experience that students can learn quite effectively when a hand-on learning environment is made available, as opposed to just sitting in a lecture room. Our classes are designed to get students involved by learning and developing skills in a real-world training environment.

Dedicated Instructors Teach

Our school is staffed with dedicated instructors who work in the field they teach. This means students are privy to practical advice directly from instructors who know how to make the subject material come alive through innovated classroom projects and lively discussions.

Small Classroom Work Teams

Students learn in small work teams; allowing instructors to give specialized attention to students as needed. This method of teaching permits teachers to navigate the classroom and work with groups or students on an individual basis.

Career Services and Support

Career placement is taken quite seriously at the Merrillville campus. We know how important finding their career niche is to students who have completed our career training programs. We can help you write an effective resume, connect you with job listings and work with you to give the best job interview possible.
