What Do Clients Have to Say?

It's one thing to set up your business and deliver your services just how you want them to be. But it's another thing to ensure that what you're delivering and how you're delivering it, is exactly what your clients need to be successful.

We're continuously evaluating what we provide and how we provide it. Part of being able to do that is based on the feedback we receive from our clients. Here’s what some of them have to say…

Miller Electric

Project: OpenBook^TM

When Miller Electric saw high school and higher education instructors across the country struggling to find quality, affordable welding teaching materials for their students, they partnered with Fox Valley Technical College to custom build their OpenBook platform and a full curriculum of eLearning content for the system.

Launched in 2018, OpenBook is a free learning management system for tech college and high school instructors using eLearning modules, pre-built labs and a quiz builder instructors can choose from. Each instructor can customize the experience for their students depending on the local needs of their market and the curriculum that their state deems they should be teaching. Instructors can tailor each class to meet the learning needs of each student, making it a fast and flexible approach.

“Miller OpenBook modules have been instrumental to our success as a welding program by providing consistent, no cost, delivery of professional and current industry instruction to each of our students.

As the director of a community college welding program with over 250 students who are taught by 16 full-time and part-time instructors, Miller OpenBook ensures each student receives the same core information, which is then supplemented with the individual industry knowledge of our welding instructors.

The format of OpenBook modules give me the flexibility to create the custom welding courses that are most applicable to industry in our area. It is also very easy to create new sections from semester to semester with little modifications or few difficulties. It has the added benefit of meeting our district's low-to-no cost initiative.

I will be using Miller OpenBook for many years to come.”

National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children

Project: CheckDEC Mobile App

Watch Video: National DEC CheckDEC App Overview – Hope and support are close!

"National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children identified a need to provide an easy way for professionals, families, and children to connect with local and national resources and information. The services provided by DEC Alliance professionals help children, family members and those in substance misuse. Their goal is to break generational cycles of substance misuse, reduce trauma and improve community health and well-being.

FVTC partnered with National DEC to create a mobile app funded by an Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) grant. The app is designed for three audiences: those personally impacted and in crisis, children and families and professionals. This app uses geolocation technology to put local resources, services, and support in the palm of the user’s hands.

The CheckDEC mobile app was developed, connecting children and families, those in crisis and professionals who serve those in legal or illegal substance misuse or involved in illegal drug activity with critical services in the user's community. The app provides national coverage for users in every zip code. Help, hope and support videos and Real Life Journeys provide peer to peer connection and encouragement. Training videos provide online learning. DEC alliances can add non web-based resources further expanding the scope of services and support. The app user group is expanding throughout he US, helping to break the generational cycles of substance misuse and drug activity."

Pierce Manufacturing

Project: Internal Employee Training

"As a large company with many projects to get accomplished, Fox Valley Technical College has been a great partner to help create training videos, write content, and help problem solve for various training challenges the manufacturing industry faces. We have primarily benefitted from:

Video editing
Voiceover Narration
Video script writing
Training manual layout
Specialized one-on-one training events

Before working with FVTC, we had requests from our Operations team to complete multiple projects with overlapping deadlines. With the assistance of FVTC, we were able to complete these projects with top-notch results. FVTC’s clean results, quick turn-around times, and competitive pricing made the choice to partner with them a simple decision."

Wisconsin Children's Court Improvement Program

Project: CCIP eLearning Project

“FVTC was able to assist us to provide flexible online short training videos that anyone can access for free and on their own time. The self-directed training program is a tool that judicial officers, attorneys, and other professionals can use at any time to obtain information on conducting key court hearings in child welfare cases, including statutory requirements, applicable case law, and recommended best practices. It not only provides newer professionals with foundational information, it is frequently used as a refresher before a specific hearing. FVTC staff was easy to work with and always receptive to our needs.”

Zebra Technologies

Project: Global Supplies and Sensors Training Program

Zebra Technologies is a global company that manufactures and sells devices, software and services to help companies work more efficiently. Zebra’s Greenville, Wis. Location is one of seven flexographic printing facilities that creates labels for printers. Zebra reached out to FVTC for help implementing a training program and was connected with the eLearning and Technology Solutions team.

Zebra needed to develop an onboarding and a structured on-the-job machine operator training program that would not only teach the skills and hold employees accountable, but also create consistency across seven different Supplies locations in the US and Europe. This type of hands-on training not only provides employees with helpful tools and resources to learn what they need to know, it also helps management understand who is trained on what. Together the team created videos, checklists and full sets of work instructions that incorporate practical demonstration of knowledge gained.

The result is the Global Supplies and Sensors Training Program, which focuses on new hires and the transition into a new role. Employees demonstrate specific skills to a targeted proficiency level from day-one through day-90, laying the foundation for their future success.
