CTE Graduate Profile

The company taught me everything I needed to know to work with them. Skills they taught included knowledge on vaccines, preven WDWLYH SURGXFWV KRZ WR ÀOO UDELHV FHUWLÀFDWHV KRZ WR UHDG FOLHQW information, restraining animals, and everything else in between. I did not have to have any experience in the animal world to have this position, although the vet assisting class I took through high school gave me a lot of background knowledge that I can use in the position I am now.
