Jared Ricks, a spring 2003 BYU-Idaho graduate, has recently become a Certified Landscape Technician (CLT), and was awarded his Softscape and Hardscape Certificates in September [2008]. As quoted from the January/February 2009 edition of The Taproot, A Publication of the Idaho Nursery and Landscape Association, Jared decided to become a CLT because, "I feel that it is important to continue my education and my prospect for the future . . . Also, I can back up my recommendations and work with this certification." Of the certification program, Jared also remarked that "It helps you understand and be aware of the safety issues you face in the field."Jared has been working in the industry for eight years, and has been working for The Lawn Company in Treasure Valley for the last five years. His employer paid for his certification. We are happy to see our alumni out in the workforce continuing their education, and congratulate Jared for all his hard work in becoming a CLT!
