At 18, William Holton entered the construction industry believing hard work and experience would be enough to build a lifelong career.
After more than 20 years in the field, he realized something important:
experience matters, but growth opportunities often require more.
At 50 years old, William made the decision to go back to school and complete his BS in Construction Management at National American University.
In his own words, the value of earning a degree wasn’t just about a diploma. It was about proving commitment, developing new skills, and showing employers the discipline and dedication it takes to keep learning and growing.
His story is a reminder that it’s never too late to invest in yourself.
Real students. Real journeys. Real impact.
