ETC classes have made me realize that I hold my present and future in my hand, and that only I am responsible for making my dreams and wishes come true.
In my current position I have been able apply many of the techniques that I have learned through these classes and feel ready to tackle other areas that need help. Not only has it been a wonderful experience with the knowledge and confidence I have gained, it has given me a positive outlook for future personal and professional growth. The instructors have been fantastic. They have taken very difficult subjects and made them enjoyable through their humor, professionalism and intelligence. The networking with other knowledgeable people on campus has been quite educational and rewarding.
Thank you for providing the valuable training.

Wow! What a great experience this has been for me. I will leave here feeling confident that what I have learned will be used each day at work and in my personal life. It's been a pleasure to meet everyone and get to know them. All the instructors did a wonderful job and made the classes fun and interesting at the same time.

ETC has been a rewarding learning experience. I feel I've gained many insights and tools, which will help me become a more productive IU staff member. The presenters did a great job of providing us with a 'big picture' view of the university workplace; and it's been especially good for me to get out and meet some of my fellow IU workers. Many thanks to one and all.

For me, ETC has been like a refresher course. Or maybe I should say rejuvenator. It's given me the impetus to re-think various aspects of my professional life. I've gained support and encouragement through the on-going contact and interaction with my classmates, learning about their work situations, and sharing ideas with them.
One of the outstanding aspects of the program is the quality of the trainers and support staff. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and professionalism have been an inspiration to me.

I really enjoyed all of the aspects of the ETC. ETC forced me, a "techy" kind of guy, to move from my comfort zone. I found plenty of support from both participants and the facilitators. I would have to say my most enjoyable class was the International Intelligence taught by Tatiana. Working in a department that supports 87 languages has presented cultural problems in the past. I have a much better understanding and now more sensitive to communication of our customers.

I really appreciated the opportunity to participate in the "Self-esteem/Assertiveness" session and "Conflicts & Confrontation". I have already found the information gained in these particular sessions to be useful in both my professional life and personal life, which in turn, makes me a happier, more effective employee.
Thanks to all of the instructors- You are each extremely gifted at what you do! Also, many thanks to Carrie Cline for taking care of all of our needs and answering any questions that we could throw at you! ;-)

I've really enjoyed my time in the ETC program. I've worked for IU for 8 years as a full time employee and wish I had gone through ETC sooner! The instructors are wonderful and make the classes fun. I've made new friends and learned a lot of skills that I can put to use on the job every day. One of my favorite classes was on stress management. I would definitely recommend the program to other employees!

I feel the ETC Program has been well worth the time. Not only is the content of the classes good, but the instructors are excellent! ETC is a well rounded program with a lot of personal tips that we can all use in our workplace. To me it is a real training program that I have completed that will help me to advance here at the university.

It is quite difficult to put into words what the ETC class, its participants, and the instructors have meant to me. Besides the wealth of information the instructors brought to class, their great attitude and humor were contagious… I feel very fortunate to have met so many terrific people and learn about the departments they work in… I truly hope to have the opportunity to cross paths again with all the ETC participants and instructors throughout my journey here at IU. Thank you.
