Career Coach Job Posting Tool

Do you have an employment opportunity for our students and graduates?

We’re excited to share Career Coach as a primary tool for employers to post open positions and for students to search for job opportunities. Career Coach is a powerful online service tool that uses Emsi’s comprehensive labor market data to help students find careers that match their strengths.

To add new job postings, you will first need to create a BTC employer account with the Career Coach Job Posting Tool. After your employer account is activated, you will have access to submit job openings that will be added to BTC’s Career Coach page as they are approved.

BTC appreciates your support of our students and stands ready to help you meet your workforce needs.

Technical education at BTC includes hands-on experience, so students learn job-ready skills they can put to work right away.

Some programs provide services and repairs to employees, students, and the general public. We focus on facilitating students’ training needs without negatively impacting private businesses in the community.

Café Culinaire is an on-campus restaurant run by students in BTC's Culinary Arts program. During winter quarter, the restaurant features an international buffet each Friday. In spring quarter, the restaurant opens for full meals, with reservations required.

After you’ve registered for classes, hit the Campus Store for all the books and materials you’ll need for your degree or certificate program courses, as well as continuing education courses. Bring your printed schedule, and the friendly staff will help you find what you need.
