“I chose HACC because it’s an affordable option that allows for easy transfer.”

 

“Prior to coming to HACC full time, I worked at a company called AMP Incorporated, which is now TE Connectivity, for over 23 years… I was able to travel internationally to many countries, including Singapore, China, Japan and even Paris, France. In all of those countries, I worked collaboratively with engineers all around the world.”
