Honestly being a student at ITI was the most challenging time in my life. I worked full time at a plant working 12-16 hrs consistently while still trying to remain focused as a student. My teachers were some of my biggest supporters and motivated me to keep pushing on a daily basis assuring me that in the end all would be worth it and it definitely was! I was hired by Schlumberger and was away at training the day of my graduation. Now I currently work for one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world I’m truly Blessed and Thankful for the process and all that I learned from ITI..

Jamil Chris Technical Drafting / Information Technology · Class of 2013 Configuration Manager, Carilion Clinic
I actually attended ITI twice. Once for Technical Drafting and then Computer Networking. During my time working through the IT degree program I met another student, Jeremy Gonzales, that helped me get into the healthcare IT space. As I continued through my career in healthcare IT, I was able find the connections between two different skills sets that I obtained from ITI that I never even considered being connected before. Over a decade later, this has enabled me to move into the Enterprise Architecture discipline and use the principles from both programs to contribute and sometimes lead thoughtful discussions about how an organization can look strategically at our operations and plan for a better future involving changes that continuously come our way.

I graduated from ITI in 1982 for Industrial Instrumentation. I was just 18 yrs old, straight out of Woodlawn High School God had a plan for my life and it was to be at ITI. Six years ago I retired from Xerox with 34 yrs as a Senior Customer Service Engineer. Two weeks before my exit date from Xerox, I got a call from a contractor at Marathon Refinery. Marathon wanted an onsite printer technician. I have now been at Marathon for 6 yrs working my second dream job. ITI also taught me to be a professional at whatever I do! Thank you ITI.

Kenneth Babers Process Technology · Class of 2023 Packaging Production Technician, Syngenta
I was an Industrial Electrician that worked in major Refinery's and industrial facilities for over a decade and was always looking for the next big job. Although I was a great electrician, I never felt fulfilled and knew that something was missing in my career. I joined ITI technical college spring of 2021, because of the discipline and the structural values that they instilled in their students. While attending ITI for Process Technology I noticed that my verbiage and thought process was changing. I began to understand why A goes before B and requires WXYZ to complete a safe and efficient process. ITI's P-Tech instructors prepared me to be great in the Process Technology field. But industrial business knowledge/understanding exists in me from the math, technical writing, and computer literacy classes. The combination of information has taken me further than being a great process technician. With my knowledge from ITI I brainstorm projects, plan the projects, get the quotes, order the parts/machinery, install, and commission the project. There is a saying that, "ITI will guarantee you a job." I am a witness to say that if you are willing to discipline yourself and allow ITI to mold you, then yes you will always have a job! With God and ITI knowledge, there will always be a job waiting for you.

Kenny Dotson Process Technology · Class of 2023 Production Operator, Westlake
Before attending ITI Technical College, I worked as a teacher which was a rewarding experience, but I felt like I wanted more for my life—more growth, more opportunity and a new challenge. I’ve always had an interest in how things work, especially in industrial settings, so I started looking into technical programs that could give me a fresh start. ITI stood out to me because of its hands-on training,experienced instructors, and focused programs that are built around real-world careers. When I first started, I was a little nervous making such a big career shift, but the environment at ITI made the transition easier than I expected. I enjoyed learning in a setting that combined classroom instruction with practical skills I could actually use. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and really cared about our success. As I learned more, I became especially interested in how entire systems operate in plants—how safety, efficiency, and technology come together to keep things running. That’s what pushed me to enroll in the Process Technology program. I knew this path could lead to a stable, high-paying career with long-term potential. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and my future.

Matthew Johnson Class of 2012 IT Manager, Hood Container Corporation
ITI was not my first school for higher education. I started at a more traditional college. I had always done well in school before, but at that point I wasn't ready and I was struggling. When I needed a change, I found ITI and they gave me everything that I needed to succeed. In the classroom I had the individual attention of my instructors, a guided curriculum, assistance with my financial aid, they even guided me on the repayment options for my student loans when I was about to graduate. When I needed a job they helped me with that too. I never felt on my own at ITI. At each one of those steps there was a person to talk to who cared. ITI was just a bunch of people who really cared. They really take each students educational experience personally and I feel that I got another family with ITI.
