Lisa Mostafa, Hearing Instrument Technology 

From Hair to Hear 

Earn a CNC Operator 

certificate in just 

two quarters 

Step foot into any modern machine or 

manufacturing shop, and chances are 

you’ll find computer numerical control 

(CNC) machines. The equipment that 

increases accuracy and efficiency, and 

allows parts to be cut at a high speed in 

a short amount of time has become an 

integral part of the manufacturing and 

machining industry. 

To help meet the training needs of this 

evolving industry, Bates will offer a 

two-quarter CNC Operator certificate 

program. The first quarter begins Nov. 

28. Students will learn to use a variety of 

machine tools, including CNC equipment. 

Participants learn to make metal parts 

to precise specifications, and gain 

knowledge of the working properties of 

metal, capabilities of machine tools and 

equipment, and standard shop practices 

that prepares students for employment 

in all types of factories, industries and 

maintenance shops. 

Upon successful completion, students 

will receive a CNC Operator Certificate 

of Training. Students may be eligible for 

tuition-free training through Workforce 

Central. Contact Career Advisor LeaEllen 

Maass at 253.680.7007, 

lmaass@bates.ctc.edu to learn more 

about the program, and to find out if you 

qualify for tuition assistance through 

Workforce Central. • 

Quarter One 

Begins 11/28, DTC-M101, 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m., 23 cr. 

Quarter Two 

Begins 2/23, DTC-M101, 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m., 21 cr. 

Licensed cosmetologist Lisa Mostafa first 

considered a career change in 2010 when she 

separated from her husband. 

The mother of a five-year-old boy, Lisa had 

been working as a hair stylist since 1993 and 

wanted to secure a better living for her family. 

At first, she thought she’d enter the medical 

field as a nurse. “I was gearing up to pursue my 

nursing credentials and realized I was in my 

mid-40s, and it would take 

more time than I had 

to give,” said Lisa. 

She then began to explore the field of hearing 

instrument technology. “During the last five 

years of my father’s life, he needed hearing 

aids,” said Lisa. “This experience piqued my 

interest in the field, so I started talking with 

people in the industry.” 

Through her research, she discovered Bates. 

“Bates is one of only two colleges that offer the 

Hearing Instrument Technology program in the 

entire nation,” said Lisa, who enrolled in the 

program spring 2011. 

“One of the things I enjoy most is 

working with my peers. I am full of 

respect for them,” she said. “It’s 

a small group, and we work well 

together. I also appreciate the 

one-on-one instruction. 

[Instructor Dr. Marci Leong] is 

super knowledgeable and very 

approachable. She’s always here 

for us,” she added. 

The Hearing Instrument 

Technology program will 

prepare Lisa for the state 

license exam she will take 

when she graduates with her 

associate of technology degree 

summer 2012. •

Sal McGowan, 

Fire Service 

Focus on Fire 

Sal McGowan is a marine mechanic by trade. 

The Navy veteran and father of three had 

been working aboard ships since 1996 and 

as a mechanic for luxury yachts since 2000. 

When the economy went south and his job at 

the boat repair company ended, he decided 

to pursue his dream to become a firefighter. 

“I told my wife, ‘I’m going to be a firefighter.’ 

I had heavy equipment repair experience, 

mechanic experience. I needed a job that was 

going to be in demand—I couldn’t rely on the 

economy to support my family,” said Sal. 

General Education 

To satisfy degree and certificate requirements, 

students need to complete certain general 

education (GE) classes. Career advisors and 

faculty can help you create an education plan 

that will keep you on track for your goals. 

Contact a career advisor for more information 

on course descriptions and prerequisites. 

General education classes are open to career 

education students, high school students and 

others pursuing college credit or preparatory 

goals and include college-level and collegepreparatory 

courses. COMPASS scores and the 

course work help determine prerequisites you 

need to complete. Some students may need 

to build basic skills in mathematics, reading 

or writing before taking a general education 

course. 

Associate degrees and certificates of 

competency require completion of a specific 

number and distribution of pre-college and 

college-level GE classes. Requirements vary 

depending upon the career education program, 

the credential, and the track a student chooses 

to pursue. Each career education program 

has a unique delivery plan that identifies the 

quarters in which students should take general 

education classes. 

So in 2010, he applied for assistance to 

help pay for tuition, books and supplies, 

spoke with representatives at the college, 

and began his journey toward becoming a 

firefighter. 

“I was 33 years old at the time, and I had 

one more life change in me. Go big or go 

home,” he said. “I put in my paperwork, 

said my prayers, and everything was 

approved.” Sal began the program fall 

quarter. 

In addition to the full-time program, 

Sal takes evening Emergency Medical 

Technician courses, and volunteers at the 

North Olympia Fire and Rescue District 

7 to apply the knowledge and skills he 

learns in the program. 

“If it wasn’t for my wife supporting me, 

I don’t think I’d be able to accomplish 

this,” said Sal. “I leave the house at 6:30 

a.m., and sometimes won’t get home until 

midnight. On the days I volunteer, I won’t 

see my kids Monday through Friday.” 

Sal’s dedication, drive and hard work will 

pay off when he graduates winter 2012 

with an associate of technology degree, 

and his EMT, Firefighter I, II, Wildland and 

Emergency Vehicle Incident Prevention 

certifications. •

Bates Lights 

Up The Night 

This winter, Bates Technical 

College students will help spread 

holiday cheer at the Northwest’s 

largest drive-through light display. 

The 16th annual Fantasy Lights at 

Spanaway Park features a small 

fleet of gingerbread kids that swing, seesaw and skip rope 

on the lighted holiday playground, built and assembled by 

a group of Bates students. With some fixtures reaching as 

high as 14 feet, these new displays will greet cars as they 

travel through the sparkling park. 

For 15 years, Bates students in the welding, electronic 

equipment service, biomedical equipment repair and 

commercial truck driving career education programs have 

added fun, colorful and unique displays to this dazzling 

drive-through light show that has become a Northwest 

family tradition. 

Don’t miss this spectacular holiday light display.
