How COD helped him get there?

​

Upon the insistence of his parents, Ernest enrolled at College of the Desert in 2013 immediately after high school. However, without a sense of direction, Ernest could not settle on a major.

 

Almost ten years later, with two kids of his own, Ernest is motivated to exemplify the value of education to his little ones and secure a job that allows him to prioritize his family. Upon learning about the need for physical therapist assistants, the growth potential of the job and College of the Desert’s newly accredited PTA program, he decided to return to college.
