Post Graduate Employment

Fairfax University of America (FXUA) has career-oriented programs aimed at helping eventual graduates to have skills that employers are looking for. As such, our curriculum development process seeks feedback from actual or potential employers in order to tailor our curriculum around the needs of the field. FXUA measures its success in part on the success of its graduates after program completion. As such, we monitor our students from the time that they complete their program until they are employed.

CAREER COACHING

In addition to group trainings/workshops and information sessions, FXUA employs a career coaching model whereby we work with students/graduates to design individualized plans to help them be successful in their job search. Our goal is to provide a personalized experience to assist students to be successful in their job search.
