“We brought on a young gentleman named Garrett, the whole hiring process was easy, sent over a copy of our application and they had him fill it out. Offered to send a copy of it back if we wanted but I opted to pick it up and got to meet him when I did. From there we got him in for an interview 2 days later and he started working the next week. The kids from this school are phenomenal. We have one previous student as well who has been with us for almost 3 years, and now our newest hire. He picked up on everything so quick and easily he has been a true blessing to work with. Such a great kid coming from such an incredible school and program.”
