There aren’t many programs that can boast nearly 100% job placement since its founding like the Industrial Distribution (ID) program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney can. 作为全国为数不多的ID项目之一，太阳城娱乐官网与东卡罗莱纳大学和普渡大学等学校分享这一区别。 According to Dr. Ben Brachle, an ID faculty member, 太阳城娱乐官网 “just can’t graduate students fast enough because they are uniquely positioned to get into these career roles.” Since its start in 1989, the ID program has always focused on preparing its students for careers in this industry which Dr. Brachle explains is “hidden in plain sight.”

通过ID计划合作伙伴的慷慨解囊，该计划最近有所增长。 由于这些行业合作公司提供的资金，最近创建了一个教授职位和两个奖学金。 Dr. Brachle explained that the professorship was “created to keep the industry relationship strong” since this degree prepares students for “business-to-business industrial sales.” 行业合作伙伴清楚地了解在学术界和工业界之间建立牢固联系的重要性。 而ID教员重视这个来自行业的重要反馈循环，因为它确保了他们提供的课程是最新的、相关的，并培养了灵活性。 Dr. Bachle states that “a lot of our students come back as senior salespeople, managers or district managers or profit center managers, and they recruit from our program.” 这是Brachle博士和他在ID项目中的同事们在学生和行业之间培养的独特关系的一个例子。 He credits the ID Program Partners with helping further the mission of the ID program by the way they “sit on advisory boards, get in classrooms, and help with the sales competition.” 在进入课堂之前，他曾是一名ID专业人士，他明白大学和目前业内人士之间强有力合作的重要性。

在ID计划合作伙伴的大力支持下，还设立了两个奖学金。 Mr. Alejandro Cahis, an ID faculty member, sees his role as one that will “incorporate sales competitions” with the goal of exposing “the students to different scenarios that they could encounter in the real world.” He explains that he believes “the more practice they have to different situations and scenarios, the more comfortable they are going to be by the time they enter the real world.” This type of experiential learning is a hallmark on the campus of 太阳城娱乐官网, and Mr. Cahis is doing his part to ensure the students in the ID program will be able to look back on their classroom experiences as a time when they had “the opportunity to develop and practice their skills.” 他了解到，通过这项奖学金举办的销售比赛，ID的学生也将有机会与行业专业人士以及其他学生建立联系。

除了销售比赛之外，另一个专注于招聘的奖学金也因ID计划合作伙伴而成为可能。 米奇·彼得斯（Mitch Peters）是该校的一名教员，他的工作重点是与高中、社区学院和大学的学生建立联系。 He explains that this “industry is currently in extremely high demand for technical sales representatives” and he believes that this fellowship does more than meet that need. He states that it “also brings students to 太阳城娱乐官网 who would otherwise attend other institutions.”

虽然现在太阳城娱乐官网的ID课程是辅修课程，但绝大多数学生选择这个学位作为他们的专业。 Having recently graduated its 1,000^th student, 太阳城娱乐官网’s ID program is on sure footing with major universities across the United States. 由于其教师的奉献精神和ID计划合作伙伴公司的慷慨支持，该计划比以往任何时候都更有能力履行其使命，为学生在这个蓬勃发展的行业中的未来角色做好准备。 According to Dr. Brachle, the ID program at 太阳城娱乐官网 is “a hybrid degree” offering both business and technical classes. He states that you only need to “slam those two pieces together” to describe the ID program at 太阳城娱乐官网 which is perfect since both technical sales positions and business roles are necessary in this industry.

在太阳城娱乐官网， ID学生通过角色扮演和销售比赛，通过招聘会和会议与专业人士建立联系，以及旨在提供课程的严格课程，这些课程将用作他们未来职业生涯的一部分。 The newly created professorship and two fellowships will solidify the strength of 太阳城娱乐官网’s ID program. This unique program, which Dr. Brachle explains is one of the “hidden secrets” at 太阳城娱乐官网, is not available at a lot of the larger universities in the area. 随着技术销售市场的盛行，太阳城娱乐官网的ID学生有机会一毕业就进入他们未来的职业。 感谢工业分销项目合作伙伴，这个已经很强大的项目将得到加强，这个词将传播给其他学生，让他们在太阳城娱乐官网商业和技术学院发现这个隐藏的宝石。
