"I was able to get started and begin working on my career choice" says Mr. Mitchell, he has worked on many commercial and residential properties since beginning his on-the-job training. "I have learned a lot of different things on each job site and it helps to have a great boss" Mr. Mitchell knows first hand the difficulty of coming out of school and trying to find employment in your field of training, especially competing with so many others.
