Meet Emily D.
Electrical Construction and Maintenance Graduate
“It takes a while to know what you want do for the rest of your life. You need to explore opportunities.â€
When Emily discovered she was pregnant with her second child, she thought her education would have to be sidelined, at least for a semester or two. But thanks to support from her family and professors, she was back in the classroom studying her chosen field of electrical construction within a few months.
With two young children and the start of a promising career, Emily is taking on a lot, but, she said, she could not have found a better career path or a better place to train for that career.
“I wake up and I'm like, ‘I can't wait to go to school today!’” she said. “I don't like to miss a day. I only will if I don't have childcare. I want to come back to Hudson valley once I find a job and continue to build up my education.”
