With the apprenticeship program offered by the GACC I am able to still work full time and earn a degree in mechatronics simultaneously. I think it would be difficult to find another career as rewarding as this for someone technically minded and with a drive to succeed. This program has elevated my life in so many ways both personally and professionally.
