Testimonial
“I am writing this letter to your organization MCG to say thank you for providing me Construction Pre- Trades Program opportunity. As an intern within your organization I had an opportunity to gain significant construction skills that helped me not only to be hired in the field but also to lay a foundation of my future. My experience in MCG and SAIT has confirmed my career goal to become a carpenter. I found that throughout the program I enjoyed the hand-on aspects and was energised by the challenge of creatively doing things .I am truly grateful for the opportunity that you granted me. Once again thank you.”
