I am a 1985 graduate of Hall Institute! I started going to class on North Main St. in Providence and later in Pawtucket. Gardner Pickering was my night class instructor. They found me a job and I've been doing CAD ever since...
I graduated there in 1981 with two certificates. Rick Cecil was my teacher. Today I am a Professor running the CADD Program at Joliet Junior College in Chicagoland, Illinois
I said 1985 graduate from Hall Institute. I had Gardner Pickering as an instructor. He is was a very patient and knowledgeable teacher. I did get my first job as a drafter for a company that builds machinery. My career took me to some of the largest engineering companies in Boston. I worked both in the power industry in petrochemical. I traveled for both of these industries around the country, doing site work and around the world doing petrochemical site work.
1978 Hall Institute graduate. Went on to work for a number of Rhode Island companies, eventually earning a ASME at Roger Williams University (College). After additional education (BSIT, Millersville), my career lead to the opportunities with some world class medical device technology (MEDTECH) companies and consultancy, with global travel and earning twelve patents as a result. Hall Institute was a great place to start a career.
