Every year hundreds of adults upgrade their knowledge and skills through a wide variety of Industry and Trade classes at Southeast Community College. Some learn skills in new fields, others learn new techniques and technologies for their current jobs. All can be more productive back in their workplaces.
Most Industry and Trades classes can be customized to meet the specific needs of an individual company. Collectively the Training Solutions team has over 65 years of experience in designing, developing and delivering customized training programs. The initial training meeting is at no cost to the company. Please contact Marguerite Himmelberg at 402-323-3388 to discuss your current training needs.
