Providing solutions

When Siemens Wind Energy came to Hutchinson, we sat down with their Human Resources professionals to identify the skill sets required as they began hiring in the community.  To ensure a qualified workforce, we also worked with our Local Workforce Investment Board to provide the training necessary to potential workers for this industry sector. 

We can come to your business to deliver training or have your employees come to our hands-on labs and well-equipped classrooms, whichever works better for your situation.  We can deliver training face-to-face, online, or in a hybrid approach.
