Dynamic Trainers with Real World Experience

Our instructors and curriculum designers are seasoned industry professionals, with years of experience serving the utility and local government sectors. They bring industry best practices and dynamic content together to engage participants in meaningful and enjoyable experiences.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the Transformative Utility Leaders course. The course was very engaging. Over the course of four days I was never watching the clock and I did not think about checking my phone. The instructors were top notch and were very knowledgeable over a wide range of utility management. They shared their experiences related to the course material and bridged the gap between theory and practicality. Most of all the instructors engaged the participants in the course by creating a comfortable learning environment that allowed critical thinking, knowledge transfer, and professional growth.”
