Ms. Lanee’ May visited the second cycle Material
Handling class on Wednesday, May 25. Lanee’ was a former student in the first
cycle Material Handling class. She finished the program on May 5. Lanee’ was an
outstanding student in this class. As Material Handler Instructor—Jim Shephard,
would say, “Lanee’ was a dedicated, hard worker inside and outside of the
classroom.” Mr. Shephard was very impressed with Lanee’s efforts in the
classroom and her ability to make it to class on time, or early, every morning.
This was due to the fact that Lanee’ would work night shift at her previous employer
and come from work straight to an eight hour class, four days a week and she
never missed a beat!
Lanee’ did not just visit the class as a former
“Material Handling student,” but rather, a newly employed employee with
Arkansas Steel Processing, (ASP). Lanee’ was offered a position with ASP, in
Osceola, AR just two weeks after she completed the Material Handling training.
She is now in a Material Assignment position with ASP. Lanee’ was able to meet
ASP employers when they visited her class in April.
Lanee’ visited the class with two ASP employees, Amy -
Human Resources and Morgan - Administrative Assistant. Lanee’ discussed with
the class about the importance of never giving up and giving it your best shot.
Her talk with the class was very inspiring. She also discussed her career with
ASP and her upcoming training to prepare her for her new role.
What Lanee’ liked most about the Material Handling
class was the hands-on training, being able to actually operate equipment, and
the instructor being very kind and patient.
Lanee’ said, “I believe this class has had a major impact on my career
path because I was surrounded by wonderful people that believed in me and
encouraged me. It allowed me to network with others I may not have ever got the
chance to network with. I would recommend this class to any and every one.” She
said, “The most important lesson taken away from this course is to take pride
in everything you do. You never know, the sacrifices you make today will have
you in a position you never thought of tomorrow.”
Congratulations to you, Lanee’ on a job well done and
on your career with ASP! We wish you much success in your future endeavors.
