"The Huot has prepared me for these various activities in different ways: One of them being the introduction to the CERT team. I have successfully learned how to be a leader and how to carry myself well in job interviews to get the two jobs I currently hold now.  I have been able to make connections with the people I met through the Huot with being the guest speakers or presenters.  The Huot is the best thing that could have happened to me as someone who wants to go into the Law Enforcement Field."
