"What I appreciate most about my education from El Centro are the technical aspects of the trade that I learned there; they’ve helped me tremendously. I’ve met people who went to other fashion design schools and I’d put what I know against what they know any day."

"You know, I always got every job I applied for in patternmaking, even before they checked my references. The last salaried job I had, I once mentioned that to the designer and she volunteered, 'You went to El Centro. We’d hire anyone who went there.'"

"The program has small classes and is very hands-on. When I left El Centro and talked to people in the industry who had gone to other schools, I found that I had learned way more than most of them. Pattern making and sewing are definitely a big strength at El Centro."

"There are three key disciplines to fashion design: sewing, patternmaking and design, all of which El Centro efficiently planned and taught during my years there. I always knew I had the talent and desire, but El Centro gave me the tools and confidence to succeed."

"I’ve always had a passion for social services and work in the community. I’m a people person; I love to talk and help people. Now I’m working toward my associate degree in Fire Protection Technology, which will help with rank promotions within the fire department. It helps to maintain my knowledge on the job and makes me better at the job I already do."

"Going back to college was another challenge for myself though. I was in college for a semester before I joined the military and it had been 7 years since I had taken college course. This made it challenging to take on school again."
