What Our Graduates Say
Swedish Institute changed my life! The staff is very supportive and personally cares about your success. They always went the extra mile! The surgical tech program changed my whole life's trajectory and career path. In two short years, I have worked my way up from being a barber to orthopedic surgery and now Neurosurgery. All with the opportunity that Swedish gave me. So thanks for the life upgrade Swedish and staff!
Swedish Institute definitely helped me immensely. Before I started coming here, I was very unsure of what to do and if I'd be able to get a job. And through Swedish, they helped me greatly. Without them, I don't know if I would have found a job and got all the experience I did. And even now, even though I already have a job, they're still helping me further my career and expand into hospitals and learn more specialties. So I'm very thankful for Swedish.
I am a recently graduated student and it is incredible all the job offers I have received. I feel thrilled and proud to have been part of the school – the teachers are amazing and supportive. I felt very prepared for the State Board Exam
