Felice Masumbuko Surgical Technology I have always wanted to work in healthcare since I was a little girl. When starting college, I wanted a fast track to get into the field and start my career. Trocaire was that route for me. I completed my prerequisites prior to applying, and so the 2-year registered nursing program was what was next on my checklist to complete for my career. Ashley O’Hanrahan, BSN, RN AAS Nursing The IT Career Jumpstart Program, allowed me the ideal opportunity to attain the skills, confidence and certifications necessary to begin a new career in Information Technology. The resources provided in conjunction with the Trocaire Technology Institute were invaluable in translating my previous experience into the ideal entry point for a new beginning in an essential field. Nikolas B. Steriovski Workforce Development Trocaire was a perfect fit for me. The teachers understood real life happens and were very accommodating setting office hours and being available for questions. Small class sizes were a plus, and I was not just a number.
