But there’s more. Recent Moraine Park Technical College Human Resources graduate Kayla Ebert said she gained important life skills as well during her time here.

“The instructors and course material were great. And of course I learned new things, but my entire thought process is changed because I now view the world differently.”

And she needed that.  Continue reading
