“I was nervous coming into ӰԺ with life experience [and] not having a degree. But you get to jump into classes and what you want to do for your career right away. Even the Photoshop tools I’ve learned in the past month are skills that would have taken me six months to learn on my own. ӰԺ Tech has moved me to the next level.” – Jody Barna, ’25

“I knew that at this university, they were going to help me find a job. That’s important for an adult learner like me who comes in and says, ‘I don’t want to waste a lot of time. I want to finish my degree and continue with my career. I still have bills to pay.” – Alvin Terrell, ‘24

“Quickly getting into the workforce changes everything. Last time I worked in a skilled nursing facility on a dementia/Alzheimer’s unit 15 years ago, I was a CNA. Now I am working on an identical unit as the charge nurse. As a returning student, I knew ӰԺ was the answer.” – Nikki Schulz, Nursing, ’23
