What Program Graduates Say

  • "With a great attitude, you can achieve anything you like.”

    Christopher Black, HVAC – Class of 2022

  • "I attended IOT with no idea what I was getting myself into. I was already working in a job trying to work my way up the corporate ladder. And if I got the IOT cert, I could get a good raise, but I ended up getting something better. I got the opportunity to apply for a union job that has amazing benefits and financial opportunities. IOT was a good introduction into the basic knowledge of HVACR that got my foot in the door into a great career.”
