Also in 2012, ITA was chosen as one of the “Top 50 Companies to Watch” in the State of Florida by GrowFL – a moment of pride for the Director and the school. There were 425 nominees, but only 50 companies received the award.

Moving forward, Mr. Dick will continue to rely on his vast experience to oversee the Institute of Technical Arts' vet tech programs, vet assistant programs, and dog grooming courses. His commitment to education and graduate success will continue to be his primary goal. According to Mr. Dick, “It is so rewarding to watch the transformation as our students first decide to pursue a career, and then grow to become successful in the Animal Care industry”.
