Graduate Success

"I came to OTC with no high school or background knowledge. I was voted Student of the Month. I was a National Technical Honor Society Member and I graduated at the top of my class. I made it into the Power Generator program and had my training paid for before my generator training started with a job waiting for me after I finished. Success is yours for the taking."
