| "Until coming to CLI my life wasn't going anywhere" |
Until coming to CLI my life wasn't going anywhere. CLI gave me the certifications and qualifications I needed to land a good job. Just two months after graduation I am steadily working in a field I love and have a great job with a great company that I can stick with and even have my own company van and GREAT benefits. I feel I got more from the fast pace at CLI than I would have gotten at a slow pace two year school.

| "The school was everything it should be!" |
The school was everything it should be! It gave me the foundation of theory and then the hands on application to help me pick things up in the field quickly. I love the company I work for and they like me. They hired me to be an installer and in a very short time started cross training me over in service. I get the opportunity to work with it all. I am doing fantastic and see myself making $16 an hour within 90 days.

I had never really accomplished anything in my life and after CLI, I had accomplished something big. You guys changed my life personally and gave me a whole new outlook. You got my life on a better path and the heart to do better for myself. It is like you all told me, "Don't just settle," and since CLI, I haven't settled. I've got the job of my life and I really do appreciate all that you guys did.
