The Career and Advanced Technology Center at Community College of Philadelphia celebrated its first-anniversary last month, writes the Community College of Philadelphia News.

The CATC offers career training and degree programs for people with all types of schedules. Among the offered classes are health care, advanced manufacturing, transportation technologies, and more.

Since it first opened in West Philadelphia, the CATC has seen over 700 students across credit and noncredit programs attend its classes.

The facility is specifically designed to provide students with invaluable hands-on experience that aims to set them up for success in their careers.

“I love that everything is hands-on since I am a hands-on learner,” said Linda Ali, who signed up for the Nurse Aide Training program to make her way in the medical field.

Ali was happy to find a program that she could fit into her busy schedule as a mother of three.

“I truly did love the program and have been telling everyone I know about it,” she said.
