“I would recommend the CTC program. In a few years, by the time I’m 19 or 20, I’ll have my ticket.”­ — Nicholas, CTC Millwright student

“Those two years at CNC were transferable to the University of Guelph, where I got a Bachelor of Commerce. All this happened before my 20th birthday.” -- Jessica, CTC graduate
