The fact that the College values its employees—and that we provide our students with the best learning experience—makes my service here more than just a job.  I have opportunities throughout the year to better myself—become more skilled at my job, learn new technology, or gain insight into best practices.

Rodney Milstead, Environmental Services

There are so many opportunities here to grow and to learn. The family and community atmosphere makes going to work a pleasure. Everyone treats you warmly and with respect. I especially enjoy the many opportunities we have to connect with other people—events such as the Winter Gathering, Spring Celebration, and Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, where everyone comes together as a community.

Aixa Pomales Employee Profile

You can build true partnerships here, and there is a genuine sense of wanting to help others and give back.  There truly is an open door policy and not the bureaucracy you sometimes see in other workplaces.  I have the opportunity to learn about what is happening in each department and see where ITS can help and make a positive impact.
