"This last quarter was really great for us training wise. We had a lot of training to schedule and deploy, and Courtney and Brad were extremely helpful in helping us accomplish this. Our staff really enjoyed the in-person sessions we did at our office, and the whole process was made easy with Lantec’s help. Additionally, we were able to get last-minute grant revisions approved very quickly. This really helped us gain access to beneficial training we hadn’t anticipated our employees would need or want to attend."- Blake Haynie, Human Resources Manager, Bossier Federal Credit Union
