"Tiffany Mitchell - so much to say about Tiff… A couple of examples of her mightiness: 1. It’s amazing what comes out little pow wows with her. I was expressing disappointment that our summer exploration pre-apprenticeship camp was cancelled after all of the time/energy the students put forth for this class. She understood and came up with a great idea for “good will”. She provided goodies bags with fun stuff to put in them! *seeing the positive and coming up with a solution 2. One particular student and parent were confused between credentialed side and workforce, they were frustrated with the previous instructions given. Tiffany met with them (all 3 channels, in-person, email, phone) broke it down for them and gave them steps. Gave me a heads up. *Tiff's superpower is listening and figuring out the direction that fits the student best. And sharing information with the correct person to ensure there is no more frustration Number one priority is her interaction with the student(s). She has a great ability of doing her research and preparing for her audience. Being knowledgeable and familiar with all of our offerings on credentialed side to workforce, she is able to represent NIC in a positive, enthusiastic way and assist the student in considering multiple possibilities! As a side note: I'm entertained watching her pack and unpack for each event!" - Brenda Garver, Senior Administrative Assistant - Workforce Training Center
