SWIFT CURRENT – The 5th Annual Safety Breakfast at Great Plains College is set to be hosted on March 21. The free hot breakfast is open to all clients, current or interested, who are looking for safety training for themselves or their company.
“We are proud to be a trusted safety training partner for so many businesses and individuals in the community,” said Lyla Cooper, safety training coordinator at Great Plains College. “We love to host this event every year to say thank you to our existing clients, to welcome new clients and to share what’s new and exciting for safety training options at the college.”
The event will provide an update on new classes, custom course options and a schedule of specialty classes for spring breakup for clients in the oil and gas industry. The doors will open at 7 a.m. and the breakfast will run from 7:30-8:30 a.m. Tours of the college will be available following the event.
“Many people aren’t aware of our full course offerings, or that we offer customized training for businesses, so it’s a great chance to connect with our clients to ensure they know all of their options and for us to find out how we can better serve their training needs,” added Cooper.
