When Nick entered the Networking & Cybersecurity program, he knew he wanted a hands-on technology career but had limited knowledge of cybersecurity. Through supportive instructors, industry-relevant curriculum, certifications, and internship opportunities, he built the skills and confidence needed to succeed. He now does IT for the City of Watertown.

Thank you for sharing your story, Nick!

One of the best parts of learning is seeing what you and your classmates can create.

For 2024 graduate Elijah Grams, the Graphic Design & Digital Communications program provided opportunities to build everything from cinematic videos to functional ecommerce websites while developing a diverse creative skill set.

Today, Elijah is applying those same skills as a graphic designer right here in Watertown. 🙌

Every student's journey is different, but one thing remains the same: the support, opportunities, and hands-on learning they experience along the way!

Thank you for sharing your journey, Trent! 👏
