As part of the recruitment pitch for me as student I was assured that job placement was included as a benefit of attending Academy of Healing Arts. Job Placement was used as a career changing benefit of becoming a student there as
well as motivational edge. Job Placement Assistance is included in writing as a benefit of student advantage for attending Academy of Healing Arts. To prepared the student for employment the school boasts of drug screening policy and
background check for students to enter the work force. During my time at the school I achieved both Perfect Attendance and Honor Roll status and graduated accordingly. After graduation I tested for my MOA (Medical Office Assistant)
Certificate and was awarded Certification. Since graduation I have not been  contacted by the school to offer any assistance or potential interviews with potential employers. Nor have I been scheduled for a drug screen nor background check that would be indications that the school was committed to placing me in situation for employment. I have contacted the Director of Student Services. I have also contacted the Career Development Counselor, as well as Administrators higher on the chain of command. I have also applied for employment in the Healthcare field on my own via websites and Clinics and Medical Centers in Las Vegas. The Academy has not offered any assistance to me in my quest for employment in the Healthcare field. Not a single lead, nor contact person or employer. I indeed feel like I have been taken advantage of by the recruiters, teachers and administrators who represent the school by promise of career opportunity through job placement. I was a model student and I am
qualified in according to the industry qualifications sold to me by the school and the school has done nothing but pushed me through the Academy of Healing Arts student trap as it does the hundred of students graduated per year with the
false hope of Job Placement. Once they get you signed up for the Federal Student Loan which obligates the student to a debt of thousands of dollars the tone and attitude in term of what you can expect from the school leaves you on an island
to fend for yourself. There is a sub-culture of former students in the same situation as me who have been left with the debt and nothing to show for it from attending school there as casualties of recruiters, teachers, directors, counselors and administrator's education pitch if not scam.
 
In email correspondence with the Director of Student Services and Career Development I was informed that the school was proud of it's 86% placement rate of graduate students and adamantly defended the claim. Why I was not among the 86% was a dilemma difficult for me to understand given my exemplary attendance and academic record along with professional
attitude,  appearance and positive student demeanor.  It is obvious that the Director of Student Services and Career Development and staff are not impressed enough with me to claim me as the 86% students placed in healthcare positions by
the Academy of Healing Arts.
