"My short-term goals as an inspector are to take a class on the newest sprinkler systems that the city is implementing. I want to understand how the systems work and would like to be part of the implementation when the city has the budget. I am also enrolled in a course that is teaching the latest building codes and will complete the course in the next six months."
