Circling Back

Lots of people get to San Jac and find out they want to be more than students. Many stay on and end up employed here.

Part of the joy of being an instructor is seeing the outcomes of our program. I love when a student lands a job and they circle back to let us know how they are doing. It’s a great feeling when you see passion for the industry spark in a student and they see it through.”
