EPD Program Survey Results

After reviewing current curriculum, employers were asked to rank key technical and professional skills being taught, to identify additional important skills, and to list training they currently provide. The results were summarized by the EPD Instructors and discussed with the Advisory Committee.  It was determined that the current curriculum meets industry needs.
