"I enrolled at Grays Harbor College to take business classes to prepare for starting my own construction company. While looking through the class schedule I discovered that GHC has a Carpentry program!
Carpentry was a great fit for me. I learned an amazing amount of technical information and truly enjoyed the hands-on training. I had great support as a student and I was presented with several career opportunities before graduation. In the end, I decided to hang my own shingle. The GHC Carpentry program helped me to reach my long-standing goal. Zepp Construction is now a reality!"
