The PLC lab projects were especially helpful and covered many areas that could be applied to my current job.

Andrew Polito worked at a printing company that manufactures membrane switches for dishwashers, microwave panels, etc. ‘I was earning around $35,000 in the Rochester NY area  and was looking for a more challenging job that also paid more.’

‘I enrolled in the Automation Technician program in February of 2019, when my daughter was born ,and worked on it on and off for about 18 months.  Recently I updated my resume, adding the skills developed through the program and after one interview landed a new job at Lidestri Food and Drink as an Automation Technician. In this role I am one of two people managing 3 lines of brand new beverage depalletizers, sorters, and palletizers.  I have realized my goal of a more challenging job and almost doubled my salary.

I found the module content in-depth and helpful.
