NCLAB
In NCLab programs, short bite-sized lessons are followed by immediate self-assessment exercises, which ensure that trainees gain experience and confidence with each new concept before moving on. NCLab courses can only accomplish these tasks because they have taken thousands of hours to build and because they are presented through a powerful learn-by-doing platform. In contrast, lecture-based courses are typically built in a few dozen hours. Looking For A Better Future? Contact an Intake Specialist Now!
Personal Interest
Promineo Tech / Quickstart
Become a Software Developer Learn high demand skills that will make you a competitive developer in a rapidly expanding industry. This program is offered through the The Community College Workforce Alliance in collaboration with Promineo Tech/Quickstart. Promineo Tech partners with community colleges to prepare participants for high-growth careers in software development. Most bootcamps run a Full Stack Software Developer program, but we found that it's better to specialize in either Front End or Back End. Because of this, we offer two separate, full-length programs - one for each stack. This way, students spend more time mastering their selected track and becoming strong candidates for a role in development. Promineo Tech is a group of IT professionals and leaders who believe that quality education should be offered at an affordable price.

Behavior-Based Safety is a component of Human Performance--An Organizational Learning Enterprise Human error is normal, a natural part of being human and in one form or another, is the primary reason for events in industry. Human error is often provoked by conflicting management and leadership practices, weaknesses in the organization, processes, and culture and the behaviors of the individuals in the organization.

As one begins to understand the dynamics of the organization and the individual capabilities of the individuals that make up the organization, organizational learning can begin. With ongoing attention and focus of organizational and personal limitations and the lessons of day-to-day events, an organization can one day be that of an Organizational Learning Enterprise.
