ATE Impacts: Pellissippi Community College

This video, from Internet Scout Research Group, features Nicholas Galloway and is intended to accompany the 2022-2022 ATE Impacts book. This book showcases the important role that two-year community and technical colleges play in building the skilled technical workforce and provide evidence of the United States' critical economic need for technician education. The accompanying videos created in collaboration with Vox Television share the experiences of ATE alumni (students, administrators, educators, and industry partners) and the profound impact of ATE initiatives on their lives and careers. The book is available to view separately. 

In this video, Nicholas discusses when he was in need of a new career path and found out about the Pellissippi Community Colleges wastewater and drinking water treatment plant operator program. The program's ATE funding provides students with new equipment and technologies, giving Galloway a leg up in passing the rigorous state certification exams.

This video runs 5:52 minutes in length. Additional ATE Impacts videos are available to view separately.
