"I discovered the AutoCAD Drafting & Design program on social media while looking for new opportunities. I was contacted by an Educational Advisor, who walked me through the process and I decided to enrolled in the program.

The pandemic made the courses remote, but it was a perfect fit for me as it saved me the commute time. I gained valuable skills using drafting software, which turned into a passion.

I had planned to take a break after graduation, but was offered a job at E-Z Rect Manufacturing, where I design and build industrial shelving projects across North America. This would not have been possible without Brighton College and their excellent instruction and mentorship. I am grateful to the instructors and staff for their support.

If you're looking for a career change, I highly recommend Brighton College – it's one of the best decisions I've ever made."
