“Job hunting was an issue, because employment was hard to find.  The job opportunities are at a minimum out there. I’ve learned a lot of new skills.  Some things that I had forgotten from high school I have re-entered them into my data-base. Because of my participation in BTEC’s training, I have enhanced my skills and now I am able to apply for jobs with more enthusiasm.”

“Have you ever been doing something but did not have an in depth knowledge of it? BTEC’s course hit the nail on the head. It was awesome and educational! I would highly recommend BTEC to anyone. It was a good experience. I found it very useful and knowledgeable for things that I was not aware of. I believe BTEC and its facilitators did an excellent job in educating us and made us equipped for the real workforce. Thank you BTEC!!! I hope the program will continue!!"

“The program really prepared me for my present employment. I can remember that such skills as my soft skills and technical skills are very vital in the workforce, because you use them in everyday life interacting with people. My advice to younger persons that are seeking employment is to take advantage of these opportunities that are available to them. The skills that are going to be learnt in this  program will be very useful to them.”
