The Career Center is a fantastic school. If you come, you will LOVE it!
– Heather Sells, 2011 Coshocton graduate and Culinary Arts program completer
If I had a friend interested in coming to the career center, I’d tell them, definitely consider it.
– Nick Rahn, 2011 River graduate and Electronics program completer
My favorite part about the Career Center was the friendly and caring staff. I can’t believe how different the teachers at the Career Center are compared to the teachers at my home school in terms of compassion for their students.
– Ryan Gamble, 2011 River View graduate and Criminal Justice program completer
Getting to go off-campus to practice what you’re learning was a great part of the Natural Resources program. Coming to CCCC gave me a chance to learn how to get along with all sorts of people. The clients I work with now are all very different so this helped me a lot.
– Travis Patterson, '07 Natural Resources Completer
My Auto Tech instructors were definitely the key to my success. They were very knowledgeable in the field of automotive service, but they also worked with me individually and took a personal interest in me, making sure I had every opportunity to succeed.
– Service Technician, 2003 Auto Tech Program Completer
Coming to CCCC was a good choice for me. The teachers really treat you like an adult and in the Health Careers program I learned everything I needed to know to be prepared for college.
– Jessica (Grant) McFarland, '05 Health Careers Completer
At CCCC the relationship between instructor and student is more like an employer-employee. When I graduated, I believe I had much better interpersonal skills and a sense of responsibility and confidence because of the interaction we had in the lab environment.
– Morgan (Zullig) Hammond, '04 Cosmetology Completer
I think the Career Center is a great place to go to school. The teachers are very helpful and nice, besides the curriculum is advanced.
– Tyeler Houts, 2011 Ridgewood graduate and Cosmetology program completer
Coming to the Career Center has been really fun because the teachers are more relaxed, plus you get an idea of what you want to do when you graduate.
– Joanna Sheaffer, 2011 River View graduate and Culinary Arts program completer
Being part of the Criminal Justice program really helped me shape what I wanted to do career-wise and it gave me a jump start on college and my career. Being an officer in SkillsUSA, I learned to become more outspoken.
