From sitting in on real court hearings to gaining insight from professionals in the field, students saw how their stenographic skills would be applied in real-world settings. This immersive experience reinforced the importance of accuracy and speed in court reporting while highlighting the diverse career paths available in the industry. By bridging classroom learning with real-life practice, Plaza College continues to provide students with the tools and exposure they need for a successful future in court reporting.
