Last week I had the opportunity to meet with one of our graduates. He just got back from a contract job in Beijing China. China!! He was working on the new U.S. Embassy building there. The contractor he was working with was installing the climate control and electrical for this building. The building itself is over 600,000 square feet. It’s HUGE!

The more I think about this industry, the more it amazes me at the directions it can take people. What was really cool about this guy is that he is only 22 years old. He has the rest of his life in front of him and he has already worked in China for a year. What’s next for him? What’s next for all of our graduates?

Our Career Development Director was just telling me today that based on conversations he has had with the industry and the shortage of technicians, there doesn’t seem to be a stopping point. How many careers can boast 6 months to entry and limitless opportunities? Just the fact alone that we had over 1000 job orders between January and September of this year, should make everyone stop and think.What could you do? Where could you go?
