PTI Student Ambassadors

At first Theresa had doubts about coming to a "tech" school, but enjoys every minute of it. "I love the hands-on experience and the people I have come to meet and know," Theresa says. "Every day is new and exciting."

Driven by goals and an all around happy person, she believes in herself and is confident in what she does. Initially worried about her performance in classes she has proven to herself that if she works hard, she can achieve great things.

"I love telling the story of my experience at PTI. When I meet new students I share that it’s okay to have doubts about situations and that it’s okay to ask for help." The students Theresa meets are interested in what goes on in classes and what the instructors are like. Parents are more interested in financial information.

Family brought Chelsea to PTI. Her cousin works at PTI and suggested she check out PTI’s School of Healthcare. She visited and liked everything about it. Knowing she wanted a career in the medical field, she checked out the medical labs: “I was impressed.” Chelsea is enrolled in the Medical Assisting program and is really enjoying her classes.

When Chelsea shows families around PTI’s campus, she wants them to see what the school is about – how fun it is and all that PTI offers. "I like the whole school, and I want them to want to come here. PTI is a place where they can be themselves."

Already enrolled in a 4-year college near home, financial concerns had Patrick all ears when a good friend told him about his experiences at PTI.  Wanting to make every second count, Patrick was excited that he could start his classes at PTI in January.

Now, living near campus with his hometown pal, Patrick is constantly busy with his student ambassador duties in the morning, afternoon classes, and an evening job at a local hardware store. He's most excited about the opportunities PTI offers with internship and job placement. He's hoping to someday intern in a government position, possibly with the IRS.
