At East Ohio College (EOC), we believe that education is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and your family.
In this blog, we’re celebrating the holiday season with our own twist on the classic “Twelve Days of Christmas” song. Read on to discover twelve reasons why you should choose EOC for your career training!
One Team at East Ohio College
From the first time you request information to the day you cross the stage at graduation, the East Ohio College team is in your corner to support you along your journey. Each member of the EOC team is available to offer guidance, support, and encouragement throughout your time as a student and beyond.
Two Years or Less To Your Future Career
EOC’s programs are designed to prepare you for your career in two years or less. Rather than spending years in school, with EOC, you can go from classroom to workforce in just 18 months.
Three Potential Career Paths
East Ohio College understands the need for qualified professionals in many fields. Our programs align with three career paths that can open doors across multiple workforces: nursing, allied healthcare, and professional services.
Four Top Soft Skills To Learn
EOC students don’t just learn technical skills; they also learn valuable soft skills that can be applied in both personal and professional settings. Students will develop communication, time management, empathy, and critical thinking skills. These four skills, paired with technical knowledge, will help EOC graduates thrive in the workforce.
Five Steps To Enrolling
East Ohio College makes it simple to start your new career through five steps. Step one: explore our programs, Step two: reach out to our admissions team, Step three: meet with admissions and complete the application process, Step four: discuss funding your education with a financial aid team member, and finally Step five: enroll and begin your educational journey.
Six-Week Accelerated Classes
EOC’s six-week accelerated class structure helps students stay challenged, motivated, and focused as they complete their education. Instead of juggling several courses over a semester, EOC students will focus on one to two, or potentially three classes at a time, allowing them to fully understand the material before moving on.
Seven Programs To Choose From
East Ohio College offers accelerated online/hybrid training programs in the following seven areas: Nursing in Youngstown or East Liverpool, Clinical Medical Assistant, Medical Office Administration, Medical Coding, Dental Assisting, Cybersecurity, and Business Administration.
Eight Included Certification Preparations
EOC knows how valuable industry-specific certifications* can be when searching for a job. As a result, several of our allied healthcare and professional services programs include built-in preparation for specific National Healthcareer Association (NHA)*, CompTIA*, American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC)*, and Nationally Registered Credentialed Dental Assistant (NRCDA)* certification exams.
Nine Dedicated Departments
Behind every student is the East Ohio College team working seamlessly together to support their success. Nine of EOC’s departments play crucial roles throughout the student experience, including admissions, financial aid, faculty, staff, academic teams, career management, IT/IDT, library resources, and campus presidents, all of which work together to create an environment where students can thrive.
Ten Ways EOC Prepares You For The Job Market
EOC’s programs are designed to prepare students for their careers and beyond. With a career-focused curriculum, certification* or licensure^ preparation, externships, soft skills development, resume building, hands-on experience, interview practice, flexibility, accelerated classes, and ongoing support, we ensure each student is prepared for their career.
