Student Testimonial

	Baby Casseus is a graduate of MDC’s Biotechnology program. He recently earned a College Credit Certificate (CCC) in Biotechnology and is now pursuing an Associate of Science degree in Biotechnology. While earning his CCC in Biotechnology, Baby was promoted from Senior Lab Technician to a Quality Control Manager! He strongly accredits the knowledge obtained while earning his CCC in Biotechnology for his recent promotion. Recently, Baby stated: The promotion that I received is based on my first certification (CCC). My graduation with a CCC and promotion encouraged me to remain at Miami Dade College to pursue my AS degree. I gained valuable experience in the Biotechnology program. I participated in DNA sequencing research, learned about the human genome, and gained hands-on training. Because of this valuable experience I can get employment in any part of the Biotechnology field as a Lab Technician or Lab Assistant. Based upon my experiences, I would encourage any student who has not selected a career choice yet to go to the Biotechnology Program. They will welcome you to and inform you about the Biotechnology Program.
