On my first day with HSE Integrated as an industrial firefighter, I called on my newly acquired skills and used them efficiently on the job. The program helped to develop my communication skills, which is important, as I am required to work quickly and effectively with others. I feel that the experience I gained was truly valuable, as it has prepared me to be successful in my line of work.
