From the desk of
Mike Tacha
At San Juan College, we have committed to reengage with our community and its stakeholders. I believe you will find that this commitment is evident in the continuing education offered through the Center for Workforce Training.
As part of the School of Energy, the Center for Workforce Training not only understands the concerns and needs for a well-trained workforce in the oil and gas industry, but in all area businesses. The staff at the Center for Workforce Training truly listens to the specific employee development concerns and customizes classes to meet those needs. This is especially important as more and more Baby Boomers are retiring, and retaining “star” employees becomes even more important in businesses’ success.
From enhancing leadership and management to improving communication and customer service skills, there are an array of classes that will help your employees improve and increase their effectiveness, which as businesses know, can ultimately affect the bottom line.
Through the Leadership Development Toolbox, you can learn the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and understand yourself and co-workers through the Myer’s Briggs Type Indicator.
This spring, the Center for Workforce Training is also offering classes that address technology and specific industry related classes. Employees can update their Microsoft application skills in programs such as Excel, Word or Access. Small businesses can benefit from training in QuickBooks Pro, which assists with bookkeeping and accounting tasks.
Relating directly to the energy industry, there is a wide array of classes offered including Lap Top Usage for Technical Careers, Basic Engine Theory, and an Overview of the Natural Gas Industry.
The Center for Workforce Training adheres to the vision of a community college by tailoring trainings geared to area businesses in the private and non-profit sectors.
The fees for classes are affordable, and the training is local, convenient and relevant. The Center for Workforce Training is committed to helping our workforce access affordable, quality learning and further their
professional development.
