Careers in Business
Hillcroft's Careers in Business program trains people for entry level employment. Our individualized, intensive, short-term alternative to the traditional two- or four-year degree program has placed many people in permanent employment in the last 8 years.
We guide individuals through stages of simulated classroom work, in-house office work, and finally permanent employment.
Our simulated business environment includes modern office equipment and emphasis on workplace etiquette. The people we serve choose which components of the program they need to obtain the jobs of their choice.
