“I enjoyed my time as a student at HACC so much that I wanted to give back. I was hired as an adjunct instructor in the Electrical Technology Program in 2017. Through teaching, I am able to take what I learned as a student, the knowledge and confidence that my HACC instructors instilled in me and my 15 years of experience in the construction and electrical field (prior to coming to HACC) to do right by my students and guide them. Honestly, it (teaching) is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
“I chose HACC because they offered classes in the Electrical Technology Degree Program that fit my schedule. The majority of classes can be attended in the evening, which allows students to have a job/career and scheduled classes around their home life while they pursue their education … HACC has very flexible scheduling options as well as great instructors.” - Joshua, HACC Student
