Student Testimonials

Bella Anderson

“I love Pine Technical and Community College because I don’t get lost in a crowd. The faculty always take the time to make sure you are doing well. I feel like they care about my learning and want to see their students succeed. As a Workforce Development Scholarship recipient, college is extremely affordable.” 

Logan Schmidt

“PTCC prepared me for my career 100%. Prior to attending college, I couldn’t count how many times I’ve had to break out manuals or go to google to try and figure out issues with different machinery. I had access to and learned newer technology at the College, and I’ve been able to inform my supervisor on different ways to program or a simpler way to complete a task because of this.”

Randi Pederson

“The instructors at PTCC are incredibly supportive and do whatever they can to help each individual student. I have learned so much while in the program and I feel as though I was fully prepared for my future in the nursing field because of the education I have received. I went into the program unsure of how returning to school and heading into a new career would go, but I left with confidence in continuing my education, and entering the workforce.”
