Last August, I was hired at the Meggitt Polymers and Composites (Meggitt San Diego, Inc.) as Administrative Support to the Engineering Department. Now I am also supporting the Supply Chain Management Department. I strongly believe that one big factor why I was selected for this position was because I took the Business Administrative Program at the Vista Adult School (VAS). The advanced skills and techniques I learned in Word, Excel and PowerPoint classes are so useful in performing my tasks as I support a highly technical department. The course expanded my chances to attain the ideal job where I could thrive and stretch my potential. It’s worth the time I invested in class. I’m glad I attended VAS. Jocelyn R., Business Program
