Infusion of dependable and discerning workers, fresh from an educational environment, can provide an organization with new ideas and viewpoints, which can be refreshing and stimulating. Participation in the Individualized Certificate Program increases the employer s visibility and public relations outreach, and reduces hiring costs. LCC is an equal opportunity institution.
