I was working in the construction industry, and the Recession hit and I lost my job. I wanted to get trained on something that could resist anything, that’s why I chose this program. Through my experience in the construction industry, I felt this program actually would provide a recession-proof job. Heating and cooling are always necessary, the industry doesn’t stop because the recession hits.

As a senior in high school, I was looking for a program to meet my school’s graduation requirements. My mother, who was a Laney College student at the time, heard about opportunities generated through the ECT program. I was encouraged to apply and am grateful for the wisdom Nick Kyriakopedi, the ECT Department Chair, shared with me on the day I met him. I am also thankful to Mr. Crabtree, the Dean, who allowed me to attend the full-time evening program as an underage full-time high school student.

I learned a lot of things in engineering school but I learned how to do so much more at Laney. Going to Laney helped me love learning again. I greatly enjoyed my time as a student and lab assistant in the ECT department. Laney really showed me how important community colleges are for such diverse groups, college graduates really have a lot to gain by furthering their education.
