Personal email with Final Report The TSTC BET/MIT program is graded by administration and the State of Texas by the graduates found working. We have a difficult situation as many of our graduates go to work for companies based outside the State of Texas. Although your position might be in Texas it does not mean you will be found working in Texas. Texas State Technical College and the BET/MIT programs try to track our graduates so we may provide a more accurate accounting of our graduates. The final report requests the submission of a personal professional type email address. If one is not included the penalty will be the subtraction of 100 of the possible 200 points from the final report grade. We will also use this email to send job notifications, along with career development surveys. The information we gather is vital to maintaining the finest BET/MIT technician training program in the country. We will not share any personnal private informatin according to FERPA. |
