Espiritu thanked Kadlec and his team for their support and for helping the students fund their pathways to successful careers.

Matemb is an international student from Cameroon who enrolled in the Aviation Maintenance Technology program in summer 2020. He is a straight-A student who has excelled academically. He has completed all the general and airframe courses and has tested with the Federal Aviation Administration to receive his airframe certification. He will complete his power plant certification this fall.

Matemb will graduate in December of this year and will begin his occupational practical training at one of the Roswell Air Center businesses for a minimum of 12 months. He intends to continue his education, pursuing a bachelor’s degree through ENMU in Portales.

East and his family moved to Roswell from Portales and he chose to enroll in the Welding Technology program at ENMU-Roswell. He will be starting his second year in the program and plans to complete the Associate of Applied Science degree. He said he chose welding because he felt it would give him the best opportunity to find a job. He enjoys the different aspects of welding and hopes to explore the world, finding a job in either pipeline welding or structural welding.

Wyatt is completing his first year in ENMU-R’s Heating, Air Conditioning, Ventilation and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) program. Wyatt’s instructor, Caleb Cain, said Wyatt is a top-notch student and will be a good asset for an employer.

Wyatt plans to complete the certificate of occupational training and then possibly pursue an Associate of Applied Science degree.
