Josh Embry
Apprentice Electrician
Northwest ISD
"My advice to anyone wanting to pursue a career as an electrician is to leave your mind open and soak in as much as you can. There’s no way you can know everything about this profession. Take as many classes as you can and learn as much as you can from people and their experiences."

Robert Rodriguez
Electrical Technology Student
"I was always interested in electrical work, but I haven’t had my hands on it since I was in junior high. My classes have been really interesting so far. I’ve gotten a solid understanding of electrical technology, and I may even want to run my own business some day."

"I'd always dabbled in electricity and liked it since I was a teenager. The classroom work here helps with a lot of things — there are things you learn in class and things you learn on the job, and you need both."

Inside Sales Representative
Summit Controls Inc.
"The best part about this program was learning from instructors with real hands-on industry experience. On the job, I apply almost everything I learned in the program. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that broad spectrum of knowledge. That I could get out of college without a mountain of debt and go to school close to home really made a difference too."

"As a kid, I loved building models, and this is a little like that — taking things apart and putting them back together. I will be the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college."

Firefighter and Licensed Professional Emergency Medical Technician
Dallas Fire Department
"The best part of my education was the clinical rotations while I was in school. Dallas has some great hospitals — from Parkland to Baylor to St. Paul, which is now UT Southwestern — and you’re able to see and do a lot of things you can’t in a smaller setting.'"

"I took every opportunity to chat with folks already in the field, and it quickly became apparent that the program at Dallas College was among the best in the country. I was blown away by the clinical contact I would receive during my education, not to mention the diverse strengths and backgrounds of the faculty."

Meredith Rima Garee, LP
Field Paramedic
Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services
"The best part of the program was the size of the classes; they really take care to keep the student-instructor ratio low. Our instructors were always very approachable so that if we had questions, issues or problems, there was always someone you could find and ask."
