"The best part of the program was the size of the classes; they really take care to keep the student-instructor ratio low. Our instructors were always very approachable so that if we had questions, issues or problems, there was always someone you could find and ask."

"My first experience at community college was taking ESL classes at Richland and Brookhaven, which were close to where I lived. Then when I started exploring what kind of program I wanted to take for a career change, I saw Medical Laboratory Technology and transferred to El Centro ... I always tell people who are thinking about community college to think about Medical Laboratory Technology, and I tell them about my personal experience with the program. It’s a stable job, in a quiet environment with a lot less stress than many other medically related fields, and the people are very friendly and professional. I really love my job."

"The best part of the program was really my professors; they are so knowledgeable! And they follow up and stick with you — even once you’re out of their classroom, they’re there to help you and put you in contact with people out in the workforce."

"What I appreciate most about my education from El Centro are the technical aspects of the trade that I learned there; they’ve helped me tremendously. I’ve met people who went to other fashion design schools and I’d put what I know against what they know any day."

"You know, I always got every job I applied for in patternmaking, even before they checked my references. The last salaried job I had, I once mentioned that to the designer and she volunteered, 'You went to El Centro. We’d hire anyone who went there.'"

"The program has small classes and is very hands-on. When I left El Centro and talked to people in the industry who had gone to other schools, I found that I had learned way more than most of them. Pattern making and sewing are definitely a big strength at El Centro."

"There are three key disciplines to fashion design: sewing, patternmaking and design, all of which El Centro efficiently planned and taught during my years there. I always knew I had the talent and desire, but El Centro gave me the tools and confidence to succeed."

Jermaine Lewis
Fire Protection Technology student
"During career day in elementary school, the fire chief said something that I’ve never forgotten: ‘When people call you, they’re at their worst, so you have to be at your best.’ That hit me hard. That’s the kind of strength I want to have. Being a firefighter isn’t about money; it’s about courage and heart."
