TESTIMONIALS
FROM STUDENTS
Northwest College of Construction was one of the best finds in my whole life! I confidently would recommend it to all my friends and relatives. This college is the perfect place to get quality construction training at any level. Every staff member is very welcoming, professional and understanding.
When I turned in my application for admission I wasn’t sure of how this school was, but after the first week of training I knew that I had found a solid pathway to a very lucrative and secure future.
THANK YOU to everybody for being great people. Without each one of you I wouldn’t have discovered the perfect way to become a great construction worker.

This program has taught me some things like how to build foundations and how to read blueprints. At first I thought I would not be able to make it through the class but all of the instructors always encouraged me to keep moving forward.

-Michael Schmidt
As nervous as I was, I didn’t or wasn’t affected by my anxiety on not knowing math. The class and teacher (Montie!) was so encouraging and calm in always reassuring us “we’ll do fine!”. That alone made me work harder in all areas. I didn’t want to prove him wrong!
Thank you so much NWCOC for your confidence in me. I look forward to my future opportunities as a laborer and to prove my negative self WRONG!

DIAMOND CONCRETE INC.
“Diamond Concrete would like to take a moment to tell you that we have had great success with the NWCOC Program:
Our very first experience was almost two years ago when we hired our very first laborer from the NWCOC. We originally hired him to fill a cities WFT requirement. As that job ended our supervisor and crew liked the college student so much that they really wanted him to stay on the crew. We hired another student from the NWCOC. He worked out very well at the time and was brought on for full time employment. Since our enrollment with the college, we have been pleased with the way the NWCOC runs their operations. Our employees feel rewarded by teaching the students skills they know. We are excited to see what projects we will be able to put students on in the upcoming year.” -Marnie Omalley
