Placement

Although
DFE
tech
does not and cannot promise any graduate a job,
DFE
tech
works hard to place our graduates, and we have
assisted in locating
positions
for upwards of 70% of
our 2010 graduates.
What we do promise
our students, however, is a world class, technical,
professional education in the field of Drilling Fluids Engineering.
There are several factors
controlling our ability to place our graduates. In a perfect world,
placement would be a snap. In
the real world of State Regulations, Federal Government Rules,
and the increased personal
background checks on prospective employees, placement becomes
a pawn in the game of Politics
and Economics. As a regulated Texas Career School, we are
mandated by the Texas
Workforce Commission to maintain a required standard of graduate
employment - 60% placement is
mandated. Good times, bad times, no matter... The TWC
requires compliance to minimum
placement requirements whether the Industry is
hiring, firing, laying off,
booming, or in the ditch.
Although we did not create
DFE
tech to be a placement agency, we must comply
with this extra responsibility
and add it to our already stringent training requirements
as a successful Texas Career
School... and yes, we do help to place our students.
DFE
tech
has colleagues and associates in the Fluids Industry all over the
country.
We maintain a Master Service
agreement through our Parent Company, PFE Services, LLC,
with one of the premier, major fluids companies
in the Industry as well. Even so,
like any other industry, the Oilfield has its ups and downs.
When the price of oil is up,
Operators are drilling and producing hydrocarbons.
Companies work hard and hire
good help in these good times. In times of economic and
political strife, Oil
Futures may lag behind a bit. Operators will not drill when profits
are
in the red. When drilling
slows down, hiring slows down and often gives way to layoffs.
DFE
tech
cannot predict the economic future, the political fallout, or the
backgrounds
of students who qualify to
attend our school... Bad driving records, DWIs, Felonies,
Low Oil Prices, Federal
Restrictions... ( all of which are an active, functional
part of the real world ),
have a direct impact on placement outcomes.

Professionals...
Be
one.
