Name: Logan Ocker
Student Chapter: Northern Kentucky University
Internship Company: U.S. Engineering

“I recently signed an offer letter from U.S. Engineering that will allow me to learn from the best of the best in Colorado this summer. After attending the GreatFutures Forum in Boston, MA, I was introduced to the world of mechanical contracting. I applied for a position on the MCAA GreatFutures Job Board and was able to schedule an interview soon after. 

MCAA has not only connected me with some incredible people, but it has also opened many doors for my career path. I highly recommend checking out MCAA and the GreatFutures Job Board for anyone looking for internships or job opportunities post-graduation!”
