Ideas in the Works  

 Many times public information sessions are held and/or interest lists are collected prior to a program being offered, this helps us 
 determine if there is enough people in our community interested in the course for us to offer it at a reasonable cost. We also offer contract training for employers requiring specific training for their employees.
