Elgin Community College Student Wins HVACR Scholarship
While Snow, of Algonquin, works toward an associate of applied science degree in HVACR, he is currently earning certificates in this area through "laddering." To date he has earned a level I basic vocational specialist certificate and will earn a level II in December.
Laddering at ECC allows a student to earn specialty certificates while they work toward their associate degree. The five classes required for Snow's level I and II certificates are already built into the degree, which means not only will he have earned two certificates by December, but he's already well on his way to earning his associate degree.
