Books and materials needed for vocational training programs at SVI may be purchased at the Seattle Central Community College campus bookstore. Hours are posted at the beginning of each quarter. See instructor or program coordinator before purchasing kits and uniforms required for specific programs. The bookstore is located at 1701 E. Broadway, Seattle, WA and is open to the public. College enrollment is not required to make a purchase.


 
The Dental Clinic at Seattle Vocational Institute offers preventive and operative dental services performed by a licensed dentist on staff. The clinic is open to the public Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Also by appointment, call (206) 587-4973.

 
Upon successful completion of all program requirements, including good attendance and demonstration of professionalism, SVI students are eligible to apply for externship. Externship placements are made for students in the Business Computer and Allied Health Divisions.
 
Externship is a supervised, unpaid learning experience which provides students the opportunity to step out of the classroom and into the world of work. While student externs are involved in a learning agenda at their externship sites, they are able to become valuable contributors to the workplace.
 
SVI provides Student Medical Malpractice Insurance coverage for Allied Health students at no cost to the externship site. For information on externship sites, requirements for qualification and externship opportunities, contact your Externship Coordinator.
