Raegan Frazier | Respiratory Therapy

I first became a CNA and enjoyed working in the medical field. I wanted to go back to school but wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Then as I worked more and more with respiratory therapists, I realized that was for me. About a week before graduation, I found a job in my career field. It was a big step but I felt confident that I was ready to take it on. I never imagined that SCC would help me land my dream job so quickly and prepare me to hit the ground running.

Before I started taking classes at SCC, I spent years working in retail. I knew I didn’t want to do that anymore and so I kept reaching for something to do.

Jenny Steffensmeier | Owner, Steffensmeier Welding

When I took over my late husband's business I knew that we weren't being efficient and that we were losing money. We started working with SCC's Center for Business in 2014 to incorporate LEAN training and that has made a huge impact across the company. The LEAN program has taught us to be more efficient and save us time and money. SCC staff worked with us not only on the training but even funding so that we could afford the training. But honestly, the benefits far exceed the costs. LEAN is a journey that I'm glad we started and I really look forward to continuing.

Josh Reid | Plant Manager, Winegard Company

As Winegard Company grew and we got more complex across departments, I knew there had to be a simpler way to run our business. That's when SCC's Center for Business became instrumental in our growth. I knew their instructors had lived a manufacturing life. We reduced our inventory by over half a million dollars, and through the knowledge I've gained from SCC, I've learned there's a better way to do business.
