“The collaboration between Santa Rosa Junior College Workforce Training and the County of Sonoma has been an extremely successful one for the County. Betsy Roberts, Director, and her staff provided a high level of expertise and professionalism in the development of our Supervisory Academy. The level of faculty was superb and the Academy was a resounding success. Kudos to Ms. Roberts and her staff for a successful collaboration. I recommend SRJC Workforce Training services to any who wish to provide the best possible developmental opportunities for their employees.”

“There are a number of hotels in the company that sponsor similar ESL programs, but I have not heard of one success, except ours. What makes the difference is SRJC’s training approach and Sally Gearhart’s teaching style.”

“Our CEO James Noonan felt it was important to elevate the level of technical and professional writing skills among the management group and other critical positions within our organization. Because of the nature and the number of internal and external technically written communications originated by our employees, the idea was welcomed but with some reluctance. The reluctance had everything to do with the manner in which employees expected the classes to be conducted. We were in for a surprise! Once classes began, our employees were exhilarated by the instructor's approach. Jane Braynard was instructive, supportive, humorous, light, and clearly knew her stuff! Jane created "CPR for Writing - Content, Process, Refinement." She adapted coursework to address highly technical marketing materials generated by our employees. We had a great time, expanded our skills, and walked away with everyday applications. Jane used adult learning techniques and transformed a dry and sometimes intimidating subject into one that sang!

From an administrative standpoint, my role included obtaining an accurate assessment of the group’s skill level, identifying appropriate class topics, selecting textbooks, and coordinating logistics. Both Betsy Roberts and Jane Braynard were instrumental in making that an effortless process.

SRJC, thanks for a wonderful learning experience. We at Rheodyne look forward to more!”
