Chris Jensen, Tech Support Supervisor, Autoliv
I had never cut hair in my life. But the barbering instructors were amazing and it was all hands-on training. Everyday I learned something new and made sure I mastered each skill.

Graduating with my OTECH Graphic Design certificate before even finishing high school gave me an amazing head start

With my OTECH certication in Web & Graphic Design, I was able to gain vast experience in the feld with customers all around the world. Now I’m back to pay it forward to the place that gave me the career I
always wanted! I started as a receptionist to learn more about the OTECH culture while a teaching
position opened up.
Monica Jenkins, Graphic Design Instructor
I love the ability to do my program remotely. I can do my online class work early in the morning, middle of the day, the evenings – I love it. I have monthly check in meetings and intro meetings at the beginning of every course to set me up for success. It’s fantastic for a remote program.

Now that my children have grown and left the nest, it’s my turn to go out into the world and have a career. And deciding to go to OTECH was a very easy decision. The classes are self-paced, up-to-date with what industry standard is. And whenever I need help, it’s personal and very one-on-one.

All of the instructors really do care. They want you to succeed and they want to find what makes the best environment for your success.

Education has never mattered more. It’s both a window and a door—a view of what is possible and a way to make it happen. People need the experiences and training to be better prepared for more technical jobs. We can’t afford to leave anyone behind.
