Jacob Vollmer’s apprenticeship, through our Work-Based Learning Program, at J.J. Nichting Company has helped launch him forward to his future career. His hands on learning of the skills, knowledge, and experience it takes to be successful as a diesel tech has given him a leg up in life. Jacob is looking forward to continuing this career path because he says, “There hasn’t been a day I haven’t liked working there.” #CTEworksforCL #Proud2bCL
