Associates arrived last Saturday, and our staff was excited to welcome them! Orientation Week has been packed with team-building activities, resume writing, mock interviews, and plenty of opportunities for Associates to start building their soft skills and professional toolkits.

Next week, Associates will begin classes at Metro Tech in their chosen career pathways: Welding, IT & Cybersecurity, Phlebotomy, and Construction. They’re ready for the challenge, and we’re excited to support them every step of the way!
