Sumner College Formerly known as "College of legal arts" The school did not and has not followed through with their promises of employment after completion. Portland, Oregon
Shortley after being unemployed in early 2009, I put thought to pursue a career in the law enforcement field. I kept seeing the "college of legal arts" comercials on tv so I made the decision to enroll for the Correctional Officer classes. While enrolling, I was promised help in finding employment in the field of corrections during and after my completion. I was also informed that the school had an 80 percent job placement. I knew then that I was at the right place.
I proceeded through the program and graduated in December of 2009. I had been rewarded awards in my grade point average being 3.5 and above, perfect attendance, class leader and improvement in my physical agility along with my certificate. After two years I have not yet found a job in the correctional field nor do I know of anyone who were my class mates who have got into the correctional field.
I have called the school and have went to the school several times to further pursue the help that I needed and was promised to be a part of that "80 percent" of the suposed employable. I have yet to recieve any offers of guidance I had been promised. Now I am stuck with a large bill and working two jobs in attempt to get it payed off while supporting my family. Now when I see the comercials for Sumner College I notice that the people are the same that they have been for the past four years. So all and all, Don't believe the promises they tell you.
