M2K Spotlight
Pascal lived in Spain for 15 years before moving to the United States. He learned about NCC’s M2K program through the Kingsley Association and joined in October.

“I wanted to have a good start here,” Pascal said. “The program was challenging in the beginning, but after I started working on the machines and was able to see and feel what I was making, I enjoyed it. Everyone at New Century Careers was available and ready to help. I was happy to spend my time here training.”

In March, Pascal accepted a position at a local machining company after five months of training. While working, he plans to continue learning English by taking classes at a community college.
