Thanks to IYRS!

Oct 26, 2023

After attempting undergrad, I found myself looking for something more interesting to me, an industry that I was passionate about. IYRS not only gave me the intellectual skills that I needed, but also the hands on skills that are sought after in the marine industry. It gave me a leg up on all of the other applicants who did not have any experience in the field. Thanks to IYRS, I have had the opportunity to travel, continue my education, and look forward to going to work everyday. Not to mention the opportunity to meet some life long friends along the way. I will always be grateful for IYRS and the opportunities and experience it gave me.
