"KCCC definitely meant a lot to my professional development. I loved learning the hard skills from Building Trades, even though I never used them professionally. However, the soft skills of teamwork, interviewing, negotiating, etc., did transfer to so many areas of my life. I learned to be more confident through my time at KCCC and I am proud to be an alumni." -Olivia Greenich Stern

They prepared and conducted an informational interview with Mr. Mickley. They asked questions like why he became a financial advisor, what a typical day looks like, what is his favorite part of his day, what does he do the community, and what are his future goals. The interview helps students learn about careers in finance and professional conduct. Thank you for your time, Kenton!

"Attending the KCCC gave me the foundation I needed to pursue a career as a hairstylist and a business owner. The staff was always encouraging and treated students as adults.
