Careers. Choices. Real Life.

What Graduates are Saying

Great hands-on technical training. The telecommunications labs and outside plant accurately reflected industry norms and provided an excellent means for real-life training.

	Trent Givens *2 Year Associates Degree - Telecommunications Technologies* "My summer internship as an Outside Plant Technician prepared me for the industry after graduation. I prepared outside plant cabling in preparation for new Video over IP technologies that Lakeland Communications will deliver in the future. I read cable maps and staking sheets, verified PEDS and OSP cables, assigned cable counts and pairs, and spliced twisted pair cabling for future use. WITC prepared me from interviewing for a career in the industry, to working in the field using my specific telecommunications training I obtained at WITC. The internship will increase my chances of employment in the field because of the training I received from Lakeland Communications and WITC."
	Travis Kubesh "I am in my second year of a two year Telecommunications Technologies program. This past summer I did an internship through Midwest Cable Maintenance. I did anything from splicing ribbon fiber and single tube fiber to going house-to-house testing the fiber optics for fiber to the home projects. I also troubleshoot fiber cables when they tested bad or couldn't get a light reading on the light sources meters. I performed bare-end and single-end fiber tests with the Optical Domain Trace Reflectometer, and I learned to read fiber and fiber splicing maps at WITC and used this knowledge in my internships everyday work assignments. I worked in Cameron, Eau Claire, Bloomer, Duluth, Downsville, Shell Lake and Balsam Lake. Traveling is must in this telecommunications occupation. By having this internship I gained a lot of knowledge and work experience from the Telecommunications Industry and a possible job upon graduation."
	Jerame Lybert "I am in my second year of the two-year Telecommunications Program. This summer I had an internship with Baldwin Telecom. I prewired Optical Network Terminals, which were mounted on the customers house for fiber to the home project. I installed infrastructure cabling using cat.5 specifications which was a part of my telecommunications curriculum. Through my internship, I performed basic installs and troubleshot DSL, CATV and POTS services. I know by having this internship, I increased my chances of getting hired in the Telecommunications Industry. I believe my work experience and my education from WITC will get me a position in the telecommunications field."
