Mussie Tekle has always had a passion for computers. When he came to GRCC he began studying website design and development.

Thanks to the FutureTech Career program, Mussie was able to secure a 16-week paid internship with Tech Collaborative.

“I learned things I use every day, such as communication skills and time management. I was able to work on website design and programming," shared Mussie, "I was so happy to see what I could do! My only regret is that the internship is over, because I really enjoyed it".
