“I don’t know where else I could have gotten the specific training I needed. The Briercrest TESOL program really prepared me for the job I am doing now. The position I am in now was posted as requiring a Master’s degree, but they needed someone to step in right away. I am finding it’s not that big of a leap and I’ve gotten feedback from my colleagues saying, ‘I’m surprised we don’t have to babysit you’. I attribute that all back to Briercrest and quality of teaching and preparation, and that’s improved Briercrest’s standing in the University of Lethbridge. I had one colleague say to me, ‘when we heard we were getting a guy from Briercrest, I don’t know what I thought but I didn’t really expect much, but you’re doing a really good job here and we are happy to have you’. It’s been very reassuring to me that my education at Briercrest was very worthwhile and prepared me super well.” — Caleb Mattatall ('17)
