I feel confident that when I graduate, I’ll be prepared to go to work. The instructors here want you to succeed; they set you up to succeed.

Maddox Brown Maddox Brown Apprentice HVAC Technician, Career and College Promise Student, KMHS Graduate

The reason I like working in the HVAC industry is because the job changes every day. I use the same skills and knowledge but every day I am presented with a new problem or job that is completely different than the last one.

Keshia Cannova 2 Keshia Cannova Mom, Pharmacy Technician Academy Graduate

This has been one of the best things I have ever done. I interned at KM Pharmacy where I had so much hands-on experience. I took the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board test on April 8 and became a CPHT. My biggest advice is it’s never too late to change.

Since I walked in the doors of CCC in 2020, in the auto body painting department, this school has done so much for me. I have connected with my teachers and with staff on campus. I have made friends with classmates and other students. CCC feels like family to me.
