“When I sit down and I’m looking at five or six interviewees for a certain job, I would pick the person that has the practical experience, specifically through an apprenticeship program, over a degreed engineer.” – Darragh Staunton, President of BBS Automation Chicago
TESTIMONIALS
“The ICATT Apprenticeship Program is an outstanding opportunity for younger generations. ICATT gave my son a sense of purpose and a direction in his life he’s excited about. He’s become a much more mature person. He works hard because he doesn’t want to let the company down; he even cares about grades more because they matter to the company, not just his mom and dad.”
Cathy Splett, Mother of an Apprentice
“The ICATT apprenticeship program is an excellent opportunity for both the apprentice and the company! The apprentice gets professional training and education without student debt – the company will have an excellent skilled employee after successful completion of training. The program was long overdue and urgently needed to build up a highly skilled workforce.”
Hans Kraus | Corporate Director of Manufacturing | Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corporation
“Our apprentice is only in his second year but has the capabilities of an A-level maintenance technician. It would take someone “off the street” 2-3 years to reach that level. The work/college interaction has really accelerated his learning process.”
