“The value of accreditation far exceeds the traditional interpretation. The benefits received through hard work, organization, and alignment act as a validation of what our institution represents. Our inspiration and approach was always with our members at the forefront of our mind. However, achieving this status only proves that we are willing to maintain integrity while further promoting unity throughout our organization. As we strive for excellence the goal in fact is never really fulfilled, but consistently within reach.”

– Dan Penski, Director of Apprenticeship & Training
