LORAINNA/DENTAL ASSISTING PROGRAM “I have a daughter so I knew I needed a career. It’s never too late. It’s never to late to follow your dreams.” GIOVANNI/MEDICAL ASSISTING PROGRAM “I figured out my life, figured out what I wanted to do. And I realized that I wanted to help out people.” LUIS/AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM “I always worked with my father, helped him with his car. So he got me into the whole car environment.” “I work with many small businesses making sure their computers and networks run smoothly, basically acting as their IT department doing upgrades, new installations, new servers, and working to implement any software the customers’ have bought… pretty much all inclusive. Anything they need, I do. Prior to that I worked for Mobile Information Systems and then I branched out on my own.” Aaron Sundberg Sund Technologies President Are You Career Training Ready?
