I started at North Georgia Technical College while still in high school, taking courses in Machine Tool Technology. A short time later, my instructors helped me get a part-time job at a great machine shop. Later on, I won first place in the 2006 State VICA Competition and went on to compete nationally due to the education I had already received. Though it has been a challenge, it has been very exciting and rewarding. All my classes have honed my skills and I have already had job opportunities offered to me upon graduation. I would highly recommend this program to any high school senior.

After graduating from high school, I went to Abraham Baldwin for one year. I soon realized that I was not learning any technical skills that would help me to get a job. With that thought in mind, I decided to enroll in the Machine Tool Technology program at North Georgia Technical College. I finished the diploma program and moved into the Tool and Die and the CNC Certificate classes. I now have the hands-on experience and knowledge to get a good job in a field I enjoy.
