This week, our Pillar Spotlight series turns to Be Present. In a world full of distractions, being fully present is more important than ever. At CTEC, that means engaging in the moment, coming prepared, and taking ownership of the opportunities in front of you. #ctecpillars #bepresent

We are excited to share what’s next for CTEC grad Levon Melkonyan (‘25)! Levon is headed to SpaceX as a Starship Build Engineering Intern! He shared that many of his interview questions focused on welding and fabrication—skills he began building at CTEC and strengthened while interning with Saf-T-Cab his senior year. Congratulations, Levon! Keep reaching for the stars! ✨
