Sodbuster Award

"We in industry are amazed at how well the 360° group has done with its Seamless Career Pathway Model. We all have many employees who have begun the first part of their career and educational journey with technical college training. They have gone on to excel and grow in our companies, and have become leaders in civic groups and community organizations. We encourage them, (and will pay for them) to pursue further education, but they usually run into substantial barriers."

"The 360° group should get a Sodbuster Award for breaking through. Our employees (your adult learners) will undergo the same rigor in those Seamless Career Pathway classes. They will enrich the classes, and improve our companies. In the end, by reducing the barriers in a sensible way, you will have more individuals enrolled in your programs. It certainly helps us in industry, it helps the colleges, but most importantly - it helps talented individuals achieve their potentials."
