March 2024
Name: Emad Hamdy Abouhessein
Country: Egypt
Major: Automotive Technology
Emad was introduced to Citrus College by searching online for schools that offered a Toyota Technician Certificate. Citrus stood out due to its excellent reviews and great location. He had been to California a few times before committing to Citrus College and he couldn’t be happier with his choice. The option of Curricular Practical Training (CPT) was another major factor in his decision. CPT allowed Emad to get real, on the job, hands-on experience in his field while completing his degree. “Everyone was so helpful. The professors at Citrus have an excellent reputation with employers that gave me a leg up in finding a placement.”
