I am Catherine, and I am a recipient of the Edmonton Construction Association Awards – Con from NAIT. I want to express my sincerest gratitude and am truly honored and grateful for this recognition
Despite the challenges of being a mature student, I was determined to achieve academic excellence after not being in school for so long. This award means so much to me as it shows that my efforts and hard work have not gone unnoticed.
It has been an exciting journey completing my first year as a construction engineering technology student. I am looking forward to graduating next year and have a meaningful contribution to the construction industry
Thank you very much again to the Edmonton Construction Association for this award.
