MEET OUR STUDENTS

“Right after graduating I landed a job locally. The knowledge and experience gained during the program helped me to move up in my career quickly. I’m managing the deployment of over 300 new devices during a transition to a new robust healthcare system. It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance to graduate from college and that is what is required to be successful in the technology field.”
Tommy Nguyen, Graduate
