Success Stories

"When I complete my training, I can hook up with a plumber and be on my way.  Plumbers can make a lot of money."

Elliot

Elliott and his teachers realized that after the initial training he could get a good job in general maintenance.  But he had the skills to pursue a career in plumbing so instead he continued his training.

All he had to do was work with his VRC at VESID, his TLC and follow the Steps to Success to get a placement at Quantum Associates, a vocational training program.

Elliot originally went to ICD for training in general maintenance.  Elliot realized he was interested in plumbing, so he went to Quantum Associates to specialize in it.
