How did your training at Lambton College set you up for success?
I cannot say enough to explain exactly how much every aspect of it prepared me for success in my industry. Very often, I find myself thinking, “I am SO glad they taught us that”, as I use what I learned in the program absolutely every single day at work. I am now a Safety Supervisor for a local construction contractor with a civil construction, electrical and landscaping/maintenance division. We have a lot of high-profile clients including Imperial Oil, Arlanxeo, LKDSB, Pembina, Catholic School Board and Enbridge. We are also finishing up a big project at Great Lakes Secondary School and we are involved in the demolition of the Bayside Center in Sarnia. Being a part of so many different projects with so many different regulations and facets of safety would be absolutely overwhelming if I didn’t have the knowledge I gained during my time in the Workplace Safety and Prevention program. I am so thankful to have achieved this goal for myself and I don’t think I could have received the same caliber of education with any other college. I was set up for success from day one because the program was designed with the 'real world' in mind.
