Great job, Calup Williams!
Meet Calup Williams, one of our Electrical Technology graduates from the Jones College Greene County Center!
At 21 years old, he has already discovered the value of pursuing a skilled trade and building a career with purpose. After beginning college on a fishing scholarship at Blue Mountain Christian University, Calup realized the medical field wasn't the path he wanted to pursue. Remembering his parents' advice to always have a trade to fall back on, he enrolled in the CTE Electrical Technology program and non-credit, workforce CAD program at the Jones College Greene County Center.
Having previously taken classes through Jones College while in high school, Calup knew the quality of education and hands-on training the program offered. He was especially interested in learning how to read blueprints, schematics, and drawings while developing skills in Electrical Technology and CAD.
Throughout the program, he gained valuable experience in troubleshooting, residential wiring, smart home technology, PLCs, motor wiring, workplace safety, and more. Some of his favorite memories came from community projects, including installing lighting at local little league baseball fields and softball facilities, helping improve spaces used by young athletes and their families.
Today, he is working in the electrical field and applying the skills he learned every day.
Calup’s advice for future students: "Set a goal going into the program and push yourself to achieve it. Show up on time, apply yourself every day, and make the most of every opportunity."
We're proud to celebrate his success and the impact our Greene County Center continues to make by preparing students for rewarding careers in the skilled trades.
