Technical Specialist and Welding Fabricator
Armadillo Aerospace
"Dallas College got me started on the core of my career. After finishing the program, I was invited back to teach, and I’ve been an adjunct welding instructor there for the past 13 years. One of the things I love so much is when I see people’s eyes light up after they see what they can do in the Welding Lab."

Cullman Veterinary Hospital
Cullman, Ala.
"I was working as a veterinary assistant and I knew a lot of the procedures, but until I got the education to support my experience, I couldn’t always grasp why we do things the way we do. It has really given me a greater understanding by having the knowledge and theory behind what we do."

Jared Mercantel
Electrical Technology Student
"I’ve learned a lot of math that I need. The electrical theory class with Tom Hoops has a lot of math too — you have to be able to figure out how many amps and how much voltage you’ll need to do the job. It really teaches you how to be a project manager and figure out what you need for every job"

"Everything in this business is hands-on, so I really liked that aspect of my education. People can tell you what to do all day long, but until you actually do it, you’re not learning much. This program actually teaches you to do things."

"The training I received at El Centro has been invaluable in my 22-year career at the hospital. My advice for up-and-coming students considering a career in culinary arts: A degree from El Centro Food and Hospitality Institute will unlock an unlimited amount of doors, but it is up to you to step through them."
