My YA experience definitely helped me get to where I am today! Even though I didn’t end up going into the medical field, the youth apprenticeship gave me great, real world work experience. It taught me how to be accountable, how to work with a
wide range of people, gave me incredibly useful baseline medical knowledge (which
has come in handy caring for aging relatives as well as in my job as an attorney where I have touched personal injury cases) and the program also taught me clear
communication. Additionally, I was a kid that loved school and being able to take
classes at MATC really inspired me and made me want to be a lifelong learner. It also made the transition to college a little easier.
