An insider's look: Real experiences from real people
"I signed up for this program to learn more about logistics or warehousing. I want to learn how to manage a warehouse, and this program is helping a lot. I know that there is more to do in logistics than what I always thought."

"I found myself unemployed and wanted to completely change careers. I heard about the new logistics program at Black Hawk and knew the future of logistics in the Quad Cities area was bright and increases my chance for employment.
I’m gaining confidence that even at my age, (56) I can learn a new business."

"Your teachers are excellent. I have learned so much lately, quickly, cheap, and fun. The computer courses taught me more than I thought possible. Our grammar lesson last night was absolutely brilliant. OSHA and forklift training were so needed and so appreciated. The HAZMAT education was terrific.
Thank you sincerely for doing such a fantastic job. You are to be commended for providing the greatest service at the lowest price …
Please pat yourself on the back for a job done absolutely brilliantly."
David Anderson

"In logistics, different types of jobs can and will be available to people with limited schooling or assets. It gave me a better understanding of how logistics is used in almost every area of life.
I hope I can use the knowledge I have received to enhance my opportunity in my consulting and ministry.
I’d recommend this program for female as well as male students regardless of age because it can give you an opportunity to get into a lot of different fields."
