"At Air Products the training our employees received through LCCC have helped to improve the knowledge of our workforce. Our Supervisors, Managers, Technicians, Operators and others have received training in Excel, Time Management and other supervisory courses to improve their leadership and teamwork skills and promote diversity. LCCC not only provided courses on campus but also at our plant, which made it easier for our employees to attend.

We recently completed a plant wide survey and overall scores for diversity, respect, teamwork, recognition and having a “safe to say” environment were very high and improvement was noted from the prior year, most likely due to the “Leadership and Diversity” training provided by LCCC. We are very happy with the relationship we have with LCCC and look forward to utilizing LCCC to continue to improve the knowledge and skills of our workforce even more in the future."

"We completed the “Skills for Emerging Leaders” training through LCCC and the course provided the participants with the tools and techniques we were hoping for. We were able to meet with our instructor, Judy Bowen, ahead of time to customize the course and relate it to the needs of our company.

Maureen Donovan, the Assistant Director of the Center for Leadership and Workforce Development at LCCC, worked with us to arrange a course schedule that was not a burden and spreading the training over 6 weeks allowed us to practice our new skills between classes. Judy and Maureen were great and the training exceeded all of our expectations! We plan to schedule this training again in the near future for other managers in our company."

"I recently completed a two day LCCC course on Customer Service Excellence conducted by Mr. Jim Byrnes. In a business career which has spanned over 35 years, I have attended countless seminars and training’s, including management and personal self-help courses. I cannot remember when I have been this moved or inspired by an instructor.

Jim was incredibly effective and engaging in presenting the course material. He was able to draw on real-life experiences and insights drawn from his own long career as a small business owner; these provided credibility and enabled a real rapport with the students.

I was impressed with his ability to weave stories and anecdotes into the subject matter to keep the material fresh and lively. The eight hours went amazingly quickly.

I offer my highest praise and thanks to Jim Byrnes for a job well done. LCCC is fortunate to have someone of his caliber on their faculty."

"At Mack Trucks we were previously using 4 different Colleges and Technical Schools for the training and education of our Skilled Trade Apprentices, Technicians and Operators. Class scheduling was very difficult as we run all three shifts. Leigh Carbon Community College offered a solution. Director Tom Bux and his educational staff customized on site and off site classes that surpassed our expectations. They made great efforts to not only to meet our employee’s training requirements. They took the burden upon themselves and developed class schedules that worked well with our employee’s work schedules.

LCCC provided an outstanding level of service and quality education for our employees. We look forward to many dealings with them in the future."
