student testimonials

Tim Huskey - Marketing Major

"I never thought I'd be interested in the IT world. Ex Labs opens up your perspective to life. I almost quit school because I couldn't decide what I wanted to do. This opportunity showed me I am capable of learning, and I should apply for jobs even if I don't fit every requirement."

Megan Card - Health Sciences Major

"Out of all of the things that I learned and was able to experience in this program, the Ex Labs taught me that I wasn't confined to a small list of careers just because of my health science degree. I gained the confidence in this program to branch out to others, ask for connections, and apply for jobs that I might not have been fully qualified for."
