“While hands-on experience is an important part of every training program, the CTTP allowed me the chance to develop a strong foundation through coursework and mentorship that broke down many of the barriers that I otherwise would have faced in trying to learn how to navigate this process. I am very grateful for the mentorship and structure that is provided during that time so that I could grow into my current role.”
