Your place of study should not only focus on your education and development but also be career oriented. It is the career orientation focus of PLCC that many students choose it over competition. The various programs it offers ranges from 2 years to up to 4 years in length.

Major Fields of Study:

Always remember to pick a line of study that you are passionate about and leave the rest to your studying years. The major fields of study in here are:

• Medical Assistant

• Medical Office

• Cosmetology

• Engine and Automotive

Cosmetology may be a very lucrative career option but if you can't appreciate the concept of beauty treatment and appreciate this genuinely, it doesn't matter where you study, the choice will be wrong. So, always pick something you are passionate about and partner with the right people. Right career center and the rest will work out automatically.

Diversity:

The world is increasingly becoming a global village and it makes sense to study with students from various ethnic backgrounds. You never know with whom you have to share your office space tomorrow and therefore, having a global understanding is not only nice but also crucial for your own survival. While the majority of the students are Americans, you will see plenty of African and Asian students trying to make their mark.

Most students are youngsters and while you will find some really young and some old students, the majority of the students are in the 21 – 24 years age group. Some of the students come back to school to hone their skills after working for a few years. Their experience actually helps the remaining students to better understand the demands of a corporate set-up before getting into one.
