3rd Cohort Graduate Testimony/Quote:
“After finishing the program, I received a couple of job offers… In the end, I accepted an offer from Ternium to work on the metal-coated line as an Exit Operator Helper; it was my top choice all along. I start next week, and I’m really excited about it! What you taught me has already helped me tremendously, and I know it’s going to stick with me for the rest of my life and career.”
