“This competition is definitely an opportunity for these students to allow their competitive juices to flow and to really see how serious it is to be behind a console and operate billions of dollars of equipment efficiently and safely. If they’re able to sharpen their troubleshooting skills, we believe that it also will help create a safer environment.”

“If anything, [TSC] let me know where I’m actually at. Sometimes when you’re in school, you hear about things that go on in the plants, you’re like ‘Whoa, am I actually going to be ready for that?’ I feel like coming here and competing with other schools lets me know that, yes I am, I do have an understanding of what’s going on.”
