Our training solutions cover a wide range of categories, including:
Our focus is to provide training that strengthens the organization, increases efficiency and productivity, and promotes job growth. We take a holistic approach in meeting the diverse needs of our community partners; from offering the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC), to delivering soft-skills training through the Working Smart Program. The NCRC is a portable, nationally recognized credential that can prove an individual is ready for the workplace. It can be used as a tool for employers to screen potential job applicants, greatly reducing the time and cost of hiring new employees. Working Smart is a modular program that helps to develop the critical soft-skills necessary for individuals to be successful in the workplace. The program focuses on a number of topics, including: communication, team building, time management, stress management, and conflict resolution, just to name a few. These soft-skills are not only being delivered to prospective employees, but also to incumbent workers to enhance their job performance and develop their career.
We strive to meet the training needs of our community partners no matter what the challenge; from leadership to technical, and everything in between, we are a positive source for measurable impactful training solutions.
