TESTIMONIALS

Happy with job – Looking forward to apprenticeship

“I have been working for Mortenson since October ’16 and love driving my kids around showing them the projects I’ve worked on. I have a great interest in erosion control and I plan to start an Erosion Control Apprenticeship program soon. I am making a good wage, I am very happy with my job and proud to be working for such a great company.”

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.”

— Jesse, April ’17 CCN Completer, Baker Construction —

Support, Encouragement and Great Results

“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.”

— David, January ’17 CCN Completer, ISEC Inc. —

The Hiring Fair is key

“I really enjoyed the classes, all the different topics and the teachers. All of the teachers have a huge amount of experience and knowledge. You can feel their love for what they do and how much they like to teach. I will soon be working with FDG Products after having the honor of meeting the owners at the recent Hiring Fair.”
