I found out about the CEET program through a continuing education class that I was attending at Mercer County Community College. I had lost my job as a carpenter and was in the process of retraining myself in the the field of alternative energy. I sent my resume to Dr. Oswald on a Friday and she contacted me on Monday to set up an interview for a training course that she thought would benefit me. She was absolutely correct, the course in Building Analyst and Energy Auditing drew on my skills as a builder and connected them to my new interest in energy efficiency. the training course was fantastic, It was well organized and the instructor was very knowledgeable and the Isles staff were very supportive. I was able to complete the training, and with their continued help and support I was able to obtain my BPI Certification. I am now confident that I will soon be reentering the workforce with my new skill set.
Recently I was contacted by the staff at Isles about additional training to comply with the new EPA guidelines for contractors. It is this kind of follow through that makes me so appreciative of the CEET program and Dr. Oswald and the staff at Isles. I can honestly say that my experience at Isles has been 100% positive and I feel that I would do anything for them to repay all they have done on my behalf.

- I've seen the results of this organization in... The training that I received was excellent. I am so much more prepared to enter the workforce with a skill set that makes me a more attractive employee or able to start a business of my own. I have had several interviews and employers are impressed.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... There are so many individuals, like me, that were blind sided by this downturn and need the kind of assistance that Isles provides. I hope for the continued success of this program and others like it.
I went through the Isles/CEET Program late last year. I thought it was an excellent program and provided an excellent learnign opportunity for me. The trainers were always on-hand, pleasant, and helpful. Thank you CEET!
