"Teaching at Great Plains prepares students to be Career Ready upon completing this program. Great Plains provides all resources and facilities in order for me to properly train students for careers as "1st Impression and Cleaning Specialists". Students will know the importance of cleanliness for our local community businesses and proficiently perform a variety of custodial, laundry, and janitorial duties for healthcare, hospitality/hotels, education and office spaces. I love teaching this student population. Great Plains gives me the tools and resources to truly prepare students to go to work. 

Everyone has a desire to contribute to their livelihood, have pride in jobs well done, and opportunities in their communities. Great Plains Technology Center training opens doors for students!"
