through Hobart. Much of my senior year was spent deciding
on what I would do upon graduation, knowing I would
work in the welding trade. I had to decide whether to start
working immediately or take my skill and knowledge to an
even greater level. That’s when I made my decision to attend
Hobart Institute. Summer went by quickly and I was now
ready to start a new learning experience.

this much time, but I knew coming to Ohio and attending
Hobart was a goal and dream of mine and something I would

completing eight months of my nine month program here at
Hobart and I now know how great of a decision I have made
to come here. My experiences at Hobart and in Ohio will
never be forgotten. Hobart has been a very valuable learning
experience for me, The instructors here were very helpful no
