Introduction The Institute for Career Development is a fully licensed private postsecondary school specializing in vocational training, basic education, evaluation, and job placement for people with special needs in a wide range of employment opportunities throughout the Bay Area. Courses taught at the Institute
for Career Development prepare students for employment in the
following areas: Accounting, Office Technology, General Services
and Retailing. All of the Institute's classrooms have computers
with Internet access.
All classes are open-entry, open-exit, meaning that students can start at any time and graduate as soon as they complete the requirements of their competency-based programs. The low 15:1 student-teacher ratio and low student-counselor ratio ensures that all students will receive personalized, individual attention. All courses taught at the Institute are approved for the training of veterans under the Federal G.I. Bill.
