This training (NFPA 1001 Firefighter Training) means so much to me because if I don't take this course I will never be a firefighter, which I intend to become. It is enjoyable and very exciting to know that I will be helping and protecting my friends and family.

2019

We partnered with Lori and the team at the Colbourne Institute for Inclusive Leadership to build a workshop for HR professionals. The team created an interactive and educational program that leveraged their industry experience along with education and direction for building and benchmarking a Diversity and Inclusion program. The team was focused on our needs and understanding our business to ensure success.
