"The best thing I’ve learned besides reading plans is to always think ahead about your work, to think what the next step is going to be. I want to be able to comprehend what I need to do right away instead of asking over and over what to 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"

"My advice to anyone wanting to pursue a career as an electrician is to leave your mind open and soak in as much as you can. There’s no way you can know everything about this profession. Take as many classes as you can and learn as much as you can from people and their experiences."

"I was always interested in electrical work, but I haven’t had my hands on it since I was in junior high. My classes have been really interesting so far. I’ve gotten a solid understanding of electrical technology, and I may even want to run my own business some day."

"I'd always dabbled in electricity and liked it since I was a teenager. The classroom work here helps with a lot of things — there are things you learn in class and things you learn on the job, and you need both."

"The best part about this program was learning from instructors with real hands-on industry experience. On the job, I apply almost everything I learned in the program. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that broad spectrum of knowledge. That I could get out of college without a mountain of debt and go to school close to home really made a difference too."
