“I’m not currently in an official leadership position, but I’m a firm believer that anyone can be a leader at any level. I have coworkers who have completed the Leading EDGE Series in the past, and I have only heard them say great things about it. Plus, I absolutely love Parkland – my experiences have been so positive. Instructor Steve Welland was personable, knowledgeable on all the class topics, had clear communication, and created an inclusive environment that made it comfortable for us to open up and share personal/work examples. I’ve already begun using and sharing some of the knowledge I’ve learned in my day-to-day work and personal life.” – Bree Smith, Learning and Development Specialist, Christie Clinic and Parkland alumna

 “Parkland took the time to learn the needs of our business prior to reaching out to us. We’ve done similar training before, but the difference with this is that it was based off of what we do here. I feel like Chris Yates really addressed our Critical Response needs at SafeWorks and what could be our potential threats…he brought a lot of awareness to our situation that we would not have thought of otherwise.”—Tonya Trice, Executive Vice President of Operations, SafeWorks

 

“Good class to learn basic electricity and keep you safe. Like the tools, I use them quite often. Paul is a good teacher, very informative. Good to have a teacher that has been in the industry. The training helps you trace the steps back to figure out the problem.” —Kendall Thompson, Maintenance, Westgate Apartments

 

“As a business owner of a local law firm, I am so thankful that Parkland College has an affordable way to obtain courses on Microsoft Office Suite. As an employer and attorney litigator, advanced skills with Microsoft Office Suite are invaluable. My team recently had two sessions on Excel via Zoom due to COVID and it went very well. I’m so thankful for local opportunities for advanced education with computer skills that are the backbone of most business operations.” —Cari B. Rincker, Attorney and Mediator, Rincker Law

 

“One of the tenets of servant leadership is that as leaders, we have the privilege to serve others. That philosophy is at the core of Leading EDGE. They’ve helped me to hone my skills and network with other like-minded servant leaders in our community.” —Lisa Cheely, Director of People Development, Christie Clinic

 

“Spanning over a decade, Parkland College continues to be the #1 resource for our training and education needs. When others have offered methodical training programs, the team at Parkland seeks to gain an in-depth understanding of our goals and is always willing to tailor their approach to achieve them. We have witnessed this in many areas including CPR/AED, Active Shooter, Team Building and Maintenance/HVAC to name a few.” —Nathan Willard, SHRM-CP Human Resources Manager, JSM Living

 

"We continue to use Parkland for our training needs due to the responsiveness of the training center staff. We never have to wait for answers to when, what, where, or who will accommodate us. The program always fills our needs and makes sure the outcome is what we have asked for. We plan to continue using Parkland for our needs." —Debbie White, Dart Container

 

"I cannot emphasize enough how much our group enjoyed this exercise. Steve did a wonderful job leading us. Over the years we've brought in many speakers and trainers for different meetings and events. Parkland gave us a valuable teambuilding program at a fraction of the cost we had been spending." —Teresa Kelnhofer, PHR, President & CEO, Regency Multifamily
