“I hit a point in my life where I wanted a career change. I was focused on finding a job that would best suit my family time and yet something that I would really enjoy doing on a daily basis. I didn’t know where to turn so I made an appointment with an MPTC counselor. After reviewing my interest, she pointed me to the Medical Assistant program where I fell in love with it.

Jared Dutra is in the Information Technology – Mobile Applications Developer
program here at Moraine Park. We sat down with him to ask some questions about his experience in the program and working in the field.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m a 20 year old just following my dreams. Believe it or not, mobile app development came to me right after I graduated, about two years ago. I had plans to go into the military, but broke my knee two weeks before graduating high school. So I got a job at a call center, moved into my own apartment, and started my own life grinding to make it work.

The upcoming class of 2017 Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) students are entering a field that is exploding with opportunity!
