“Graduating from college not only fulfilled the American dream for my parents but also set the stage for my pursuit of a master’s degree in the coming years. Additionally, it positions me as a role model for first-generation students, showcasing the possibilities that education offers for upward advancement and success.”

“After graduation, I was able to land my dream job and achieve financial independence at the age of 19! Encouraged by my instructor, I won both 1st and 2nd place in Skills USA Welding competitions. The life I live today would have been just a dream had I not enrolled at TCAT. I am proudly working at UA Union 102 as a traveling welder.”
