“Returning to school after many years was probably one of my bestdecisions ever. I wanted to improve myself and my chances of getting abetter-paying job —one that I could be proud of. Carpentry constructionappealed to my need for being hands-on and getting involved, active. Desk jobs are not my thing. I enjoyed my 10 months at CVCEC where I metpeople that were like me. We were, after all, going into the same trade. I enjoyed working in teams. I also found a useful application for the maththat didn’t seem important in high school. The people I met and theknowledge I gained allowed me to get a better job and make my lifesignificantly better — more comfortable and more enjoyable.”

— Phillip McLeod

“I worked for many years and then decided to go back to school. It was agreat experience. I met many new people and made many new friends. I made many important contacts. The teachers were great, very helpful. It was one of the best life choices I’ve ever made.”

— David Courtois, graduate
