Sep 11    Leading with the Real You by Metro Technology Centers
Any business with a strong brand has authentically declared and consistently delivered on its brand promise. Strong brands build a real connection with customers and drive results. Companies like Jet Blue, Zappos, Ritz-Carlton Hotels, and Starbucks embody strong brands, and the result is they lead their industries.

Just as with businesses, people have "brands" too. Think of Oprah Winfrey, Russel Westbrook, Pope Francis or Bill Gates. Each has crafted a brand reflecting their genuine self and what is most important to them. Their brand makes a clear promise that consistently delivers value, makes an emotional connection with people, and highlights and maxmizes their unique strengths and capabilities.

The most successful individuals know themselves. Knowing what makes you great and what you are most passionate about allows you to be fiercely focused, fuels your motivation, clearly conveys your unique conttributions, and propels you toward professional and personal success. Build loyalty, confidence, and an emotional connection with others by simply and effectively communicating and delivering on your personal best.

Sep 20    Ribbon Cutting & Open House at Moore Norman Technology Center - South Penn Campus

Join us for an Ribbon Cutting & Open House!
Moore Norman Technology Center - South Penn Campus welcomes the community to an open house to celebrate the completion of a new all-in-one classroom space and safe room made possible through the bond approved by voters in 2016. The South Penn Campus construction project is comprised of 5,965 square feet of classroom/safe room space. Two multi-purpose classrooms can be configured to serve a variety of learning environments. The third is specifically designed for the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program. Inside the EMT classroom, visitors will have an opportunity to see first-hand the new Simulator Solutions Platinum Real Motion Ambulance Simulator. The simulator operates on pneumatic movement and gives EMT students an opportunity to learn skills and techniques as if they were in the field. “The simulator recreates a vehicle in motion and allows students to practice their skills on a manikin while experiencing movement as if they were riding in an ambulance,” said Katie Reynolds, MNTC adult development coordinator who oversees the EMT program. “It’s one thing to learn in a controlled classroom setting, but the simulator gives our students the opportunity to practice their skills on bumpy roads, through abrupt stops and starts, and other unpredictable road conditions that could impact patient care en route to the hospital."
