In this month’s Beyond the Classroom video, hear about the power of networking from former Wentworth Institute of Technology student, Nolan Rochler.
Nolan is now a Project Engineer at J.C. Higgins and credits his learning and growth in the industry to those he had met at networking events through his student chapter. Upon graduating, he found this network to be quite useful. “You have people who are there to help you. They help you find endless opportunities. By coming to these events, you are able to build such a strong network and basically go anywhere,” Nolan shared.
Participating in MCAA’s Annual Student Chapter Competition was also an invaluable experience for Nolan. He says really learning, understanding and dissecting a real-life project, is unlike any other learning process. Nolan reminds current students to take these learning and networking opportunities and “make it whatever you want to make it.” People in this industry welcome you in, respect you, and give you the opportunity to learn and grow. Use them to help set you up for success–Nolan certainly has!
Upcoming Beyond the Classroom videos will continue to showcase opportunities available to MCAA student chapter members and MCAA members alike who choose careers in the mechanical industry.
Some of the SWAG arrived for the MEP Innovation Conference already. For those participating in the @TrimbleMEP social event on Monday, this nerdy custom Glencairn glass is one of your choices.
With the construction process adopting digital workflows, it's important to understand the impact on your business, including productivity gains & time saved due to new tools. MCAA’s 2021 MEP Innovations Conference, April 26-28, does just that! http://ow.ly/kZy250El2vQ
Tauhira Ali is more than a speaker at MEP Innovation Conference this year. She is helping to coordinate the conference from a NECA perspective with breakout sessions, roundtables and participation. Great speaker, better peer. https://www.mcaa.org/events/calendar/2021-mep-innovation-conference/
I could not have said it better. Great to see Tom Bigley, the United Association and the World Plumbing Council getting some recognition.
“We are committed to investing in the workers and industries that are building a world in which all people, regardless of who they are or where they live, can survive and thrive because of reliable access to clean, safe water.”
