Business Partner’s quotes
John Tyler Community College - On Ramp Program
O Jon Homs, Creative Director
"The true value of this program is the depth of connection that the student has with the sponsoring professional. Because this program is limited and focused, there is abundant time for a true depth of interaction that can not be found otherwise. You can learn more here in an hour here than many weeks in a regular classroom setting."
Radelle Reese, Chef“I witnessed an exceptional
opportunity for students to get first-hand knowledge of an employer’s expectations by participating in this event. I was delighted to be a part of shaping lives for the future."
Rommel Gonzalez, Chef"The First impression is the
Last impression. I was most impressed with Ms. Woods and her ability to impact these students. This was a refreshing approach."
