TESTIMONIALS

Thank you CCN – You made my dream come true

“Without you guys I wouldn’t be in a construction job right now. It was really hard for me to get hired with any of these companies on my own. On behalf of my family and myself, we just want to thank CCN and staff members for your effort to help me start a career. We now have a future for our family and I have the career I always wanted. You made my dream come true and I thank you for your work, sacrifice and dedication.”

“I just want to say thank you all at CCN for the support and encouragement throughout the program at Emily Griffith Technical College. Construction Careers Now is a very wonderful program that had great results for me. The position I accepted starts me off at a wage over and above what I was making with my previous employer.”
