The Big Story
American Academy McAllister Institute Achieves Nearly 90% Post-Graduate Employment Rate Despite Challenging Job Market
Leading Career Education Institute Excepts Above Average Graduate Employment Rate in 2025, While Unveiling Enhanced Digital Presence and New Campus Facilities
American Academy McAllister Institute (AAMI), can proudly announce that 89% of its 2024 graduates have secured employment in their fields of study, maintaining the institute’s exceptional near-90% post-graduation employment rate despite ongoing challenges in the national job market.
The announcement comes as employers nationwide report hiring freezes and reduced workforce expansion, making AAMI’s consistent track record particularly noteworthy. The institute achieved an 88% employment rate in 2023 and has sustained this momentum, expecting similar employment rates in 2025, demonstrating the continued demand for AAMI’s career-ready graduates.
“In an employment landscape where recent graduates are facing unprecedented obstacles – including disruptions caused by artificial intelligence – our students continue to thrive,” said Don Cymbor, President of American Academy McAllister Institute. “This success reflects our unwavering commitment to providing industry-relevant training, hands-on experience, and the practical skills that employers actively seek. Our graduates are entering an AI-proof career that will always require compassion and the human touch.”
The employment milestone coincides with two significant developments at AAMI. The institute has launched a comprehensively redesigned website, offering prospective students and employers enhanced access to program information, student resources, and career outcomes data. The new digital platform reflects AAMI’s commitment to transparency and accessibility in education.
Additionally, AAMI has relocated to facilities within its current building, providing students with modernized learning environments designed to support the institute’s career-focused curriculum. The enhanced campus footprint enables AAMI to accommodate growing enrollment while maintaining the personalized attention that has become a hallmark of the student experience.
“Our new website and facilities represent more than physical and digital upgrades – they represent our investment in student success,” Cymbor added. “Every enhancement we make is designed with one goal in mind, and that is to prepare our graduates to enter, excel and sustain themselves in the workforce.”
AAMI’s sustained employment success is attributed to its industry partnerships, practical curriculum design, and career services focus. Team members work closely with students from enrollment through job placement and beyond.
