Do you want to know why we LOVE working at BATC? We get to see, and hear, amazing stories of students receiving great jobs and accomplishing incredible things! These are a few of our recent favorites:
- From the community: “I sent a client to BATC last summer who was struggling with a divorce. The only job she could find with insurance benefits was a lunch-lady position with the school district; however, it only paid minimum wage and lasted nine months out of the year. As you could imagine, things were a little tight for her and her children. She asked if I thought she could qualify for grants, in order to attend USU and pursue a four year degree. I suggested she consider one of your certificate programs, in order to complete in a shorter amount of time that also complied with her financial situation. Three months and $350 later she passed the CNA program and found a job where she made an extra $10,000 last year. She has now been offered a full-time position with benefits that will nearly double her income. Your program and staff really helped her to gain her confidence and dignity back. BATC has the power and ability to change people's lives.”
- From an instructor: “On New Year's day my family and I went sledding. After breaking new trails for about an hour, my wife rode a plastic snowboard to the bottom of the hill, where she lost her balance and stepped off, rolling her ankle. It was pretty obvious, as she lay on her back in the snow, that it was broken. I called 911 and the South Jordan Fire Department responded. I knew that an old friend, and former Logan firefighter, was the captain on duty at that time, but I did not expect a student from the RCA Class #2 to arrive with him. I had to smile as he introduced himself to my wife and said, “Your husband taught me everything I know and any pain you feel while we transport you to the hospital is his fault." Never in almost six years, would I have guessed one of the students from the Fire program would be treating one of my family members in need." BATC’s Fire program is important. All the work and effort the instructors put in to train and prepare, affects the community we live in, and may someday impact the ones you love at home.”
- From a Medical Terminology Student: "I had already successfully taken a Medical Terminology course at another school, but needed another credit. This course is so much better, the price is awesome, and I learned so much more!"
