Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ Alumni Stories

Tricia

Medical Assisting, 2012

“Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ helped me tremendously. If I would’ve gone to a traditional college it would’ve taken me 2+ years to graduate. At Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½, I was able to get done in 9 months and got right out and got a job.â€

Dylan

HVAC/R Technician, 2022

“Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ 100% changed my life. Easily one of the most rewarding risks I’ve taken. I quit my job in two days and started the HVAC/R Program on a limb, not knowing whether I would like it or not, or even be able to pay my bills. Not only did it ‘pay’ off, but I truly love the career field. I was born to do this, and I can’t thank Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ and the teachers enough for giving me all the education to make it happen! Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ was the best decision I’ve ever made.â€

Audrey

Dental Assisting, 2022

“I was a 2020 high school graduate with no clue on what I wanted to do. I tried a big university, I tried a community college, and then I heard about Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ and thought I’d give it a shot. I loved it so much. The campus staff is incredible, and I had the best instructor ever.â€

Katie

Medical Assisting, 2019

“I didn’t even know what dialysis was when I was given Davita as my externship site. Without Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½, I wouldn’t have discovered my love and passion for dialysis.â€

Russell

HVAC/R Technician, 2017

“I loved the course of study and hands-on lab work. I loved my experience and learned a lot.â€

Terry

Welding, 2021

“Before I graduated Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½, I was making $14 an hour as a diesel mechanic. I had a daughter and my son was about to be born. After graduating, I found a job for $20 an hour which helped a lot. Shortly after, I found a job for $30 an hour TIG welding aluminum. I wouldn’t be able to provide for my family if I never went to the school.â€
