Success Stories

“Westchester Community College's Professional Development Center was a great training resource for our employees. The instructor came on-site and instructed an ESL course. The instructor tailored the course to our business needs. At the end of the session, our employees were confident with their English skills, which they can apply to their job.”
Tom Arthur
President – Stew Leonard’s

“The Professional Development Center at Westchester Community College worked closely with C.W. Brown to develop a unique blue print program for our staff. This program was specifically geared toward our line of work, utilizing our specifications and drawings. They also taught the program at our office, with a schedule that minimized the disruption of our work day. This was our first opportunity to work with the PDC and we were very pleased with the outcome.”

C. W. Brown Inc.

C.W. Brown was on Inc. Magazine's list of 500 fastest growing private companies in 1990 and was the recipient of The Business Council of Westchester's Small Business Success Award in 2004.

“Our experiences with the talented Professional Development Center staff at Westchester Community College have always been first class.  They have worked with us on several occasions to develop and deliver top-notch training programs in the areas of customer service, cultural diversity and introductory Spanish.  They have significantly helped us on our journey from 'great to exceptional' in the area of customer service delivery.  We look forward to working with Westchester Community College again on future training and development programs.”

“The Professional Development Center by far is the standard bearer for entrepreneurial training in Westchester County. I had been considering enrolling in The Academy for Entrepreneurial Excellence though the timing wasn’t right until the 2007 semester. I should have enrolled sooner. The classes were so incredibly informative and the camaraderie among the students also made for very productive and insightful sessions.”
Linda Rey (Business Woman of the Year - Hispanic Chamber of Commerce - 2007)
Rey Insurance Agency

“The training was customized for our business culture and customer service initiatives, enabling the learning points to be immediately transferable to the workplace. The instructors incorporated common sense concepts into the business environment. The learning was expedited through the instructors’ subject matter expertise, high level of enthusiasm, multi-sensory teaching techniques, stimulating training methodologies, interactive role plays, and group exercises. I highly recommend the Professional Development Center for the development and delivery of educational programs.”

“My organization has used the Professional Development Center in offering management training and development courses in performance management, goal setting and other areas of performance development. ... we received very positive feedback from participants in these programs.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with The Professional Development Center on a couple of projects that have benefited the associates of Dolce International working at The IBM Learning Center. Their educational trainers were professional, extremely well prepared and the delivery and execution was exactly as described.”
David Leftwich
General Manager – IBM Learning Center

“My company wanted to invest in staff training but our vision was bigger than our budget. The Professional Development Center worked with us every step of the way to learn about our goals and custom tailor a workforce education plan that met our exact needs. They took our success personally, delivered outstanding results and exceeded our expectations. Their team of expert coaches and trainers are top notch and the program they created for us was well received by my staff.”

“We now do a better job listening to our customers. So many of us in the small business world need to know more about key areas which can immediately improve our businesses and our careers. But we’re not sure how to go about doing this. The Professional Development Center knows just how to incorporate relevant, cost-effective business training into busy lives.”

"We needed a way to get our business out of the start-up phase and really work on it from a strategic level. The Academy for Entrepreneurial Excellence, though its professionals, show us that there is more to owning your own business than the daily grind. Since going through the Professional Development Center’s Academy for Entrepreneurial Excellence we have expanded our services and with the help some of the new business approaches, have our business right where we want it."
