Employers SAY...
We told the NTID Co-op and Career Center that we needed students with high technical skills—internet technology skills—that was our focus. We also needed students with camera and editing skills. Those are hard- to-find skills in the average college student. We found them in great numbers and were able to interview and pick the best of the best.
