Why Professionals Choose TVPPA Education & Training
"As an introverted person, it is not easy to come out of my shell in environments I am unfamiliar with, surrounded by people I do not know. However, the shared commonalities of all our roles helped me feel comfortable participating in discussions during the Administrative Professional Program. It is uncommon for classes or conferences to be provided for Administrative Professionals, so I absolutely love that this class was created with a focus on our profession and industry."
Angela Leon
Administrative Coordinator, Jackson Energy Authority
"The instructors’ depth of knowledge in the Certified Safety Coordinator program amazed me—anyone working in safety can learn something valuable from each one of them. I learned that every individual is actually a safety employee; it’s everyone’s responsibility to stay focused on safety."
Brandon Campbell
Safety Environmental and Facilities Coordinator, City of Elizabethton Electric Department
