Learner Spotlight
In our ongoing journey to recognize and appreciate the achievements of our learners, the Learner Spotlight will highlight individuals who have demonstrated dedication, passion, and growth in learning. We believe that every learner has a unique story and journey, and by shining a spotlight on their achievements, we hope to inspire and motivate others.
The selected learners will be featured in our newsletters, social media platforms, and on our website (below), sharing their story and insights. Recommendations can come from any source, including you. We are looking for people who have demonstrated:
- Dedication to Learning: Individuals who have shown commitment and perseverance in their learning journey.
- Impact: Learners who have made a positive impact on the community or achieved noteworthy results.
- Passion: Those who display a genuine passion for continuous learning and personal growth.

October 2024: Amber Arellano
Where do you currently work, what is your role, and how long have you been in the industry?
Currently I am employed with Zito Media. I am a Fiber Splicer. Zito is the only company in the industry I have been with, I just reached a year and 7 Months.
How did you first become involved in SCTE training?
At the time, Zito was offering a bonus raise for those who could complete the courses. I already had 3 certifications in the Industry, and I wanted to build on that and gain any knowledge or training that I could. So, with that as my goal, I successfully completed the 9 courses offered and now I have 12 certifications total!
How has the SCTE training helped you in your job and career?
Well of course on paper it has made me look good, but most importantly I am able to recognize equipment in the field, have a clear path of thought when it comes to troubleshooting, and have a solid understanding of the ins and outs of a coax and/or fiber system.
