To Terrance Patrick, CAST Tech ‘21, obtaining his bachelor’s degree at the University of North Texas (UNT) is his biggest accomplishment. An accomplishment fast-tracked due to the 42 credit hours he earned while at CAST Tech.
While attending UNT, Terrance has interned as a data specialist for CAST Schools and as an IT Platform Cloud Engineer Intern for United Health Organ Sharing. Since graduating from University of North Texas (UNT) with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Analytics, Terrance has continued on as a data administrator for the CAST Schools.
Reflecting back on being a CAST student, Terrance appreciates the many technical skills learned early on stating “most people don’t get that kind of experience until later… experience like how to navigate and collaborate in groups effectively, and project-based learning overall.”
We asked Terrance if he has any advice for current CAST students and he emphasized the need to be attentive in what you are being taught and to be actively engaged in group projects, assignments and opportunities that CAST presents to you. “All in all, don’t be afraid to grow or challenge yourself within this experience. This will all set you up for success in the real world. “
