Meet a millennial mom who resurrected her career with a 10-day crash course on semiconductors. She landed a new job, learned new skills, and says the pay outweighs long hours.

"Every day you come to work, you are going to learn something different," she said."I like that this job keeps my interest. I'm constantly learning and I'm constantly in training here."

She said most days consist of a few morning meetings, and then she is given a list of tasks that are typically related to troubleshooting or maintenance on a tool. She said most of her work is done on a computer, but that some of the"health checks" on tools are more hands-on. The biggest downside to her job, Strothers said, is her schedule, which consists of 12-hour shifts three-to-four days per week — the number of days changes each week.

Strothers has two pieces of advice for anyone considering enrolling in MCCC's Quick Start course — where there's currently a lengthy waiting list — or a similar program."Regardless of what you know and what you feel like you think you know, I felt like that you just need to be teachable, open-minded, willing to learn and willing to take constructive criticism," she said.
