Armando Gomez
敁珗腦瞳傻う Student Spotlight (2020)
Armando Gomez, 18, learned about the LAUNCH apprenticeship program while attending
Corona High School.
I was in the engineering program at Corona High for four years and when I learned
about the apprenticeship program at 敁珗腦瞳傻う, I decided to take advantage of
it, said Gomez. Its the best thing Ive done to date.
Gomez, a first generation college student, was recently hired at Brenner Fiedler as
an apprentice where he is helping assemble pumps and wiring medical machinery. This
allows him to learn the basics of wiring and electrical work while making a livable
wage. Gomezs long-term goal is to become an engineer. He finds joy in building and
is grateful that the LAUNCH program allows him the opportunity to learn, earn, and
work towards his ultimate career goal.
The apprenticeship program helped me get to this step, said Gomez. I recommend
anyone interested in this model to enroll because it is a great opportunity to explore
different options while getting paid.
