Principles of Our Community Section
Learning Alliance current students, former alumni, faculty, and staff are dedicated to the principles set forth in the community we wish to enhance and build. These principles are defined by the way we interact, communicate, and build honest and truthful relationships with one another. As a skilled trades organization, we are always in a state of safety compliance and regulation. We must understand each other, truth in each other’s judgement, and feel we each have each other’s backs. The Principles of our Community are defined below:
Exchanging Ideas: each individual, student to faculty, is free to express ideas in an open format. Within our partnerships with associations, businesses, and colleges, we are discussing problems and implementing solutions. We promote a healthy environment where it is everyone’s right to ask questions, question the status quo, and to utilize those ideas to build onto excellence. Exchanging ideas also means the ability to accept other individual’s ideas, and to collaborate towards a common goal.- Shaping Futures: The overall goal for everyone in our institution is to shape futures. Each person aspires to be something, and we aim to harness those aspirations to help pave the way to career and equity advancement. Hard work and dedication are required as a student to advance through our programs, while that same hard work and dedication is required by our staff to train and provide an inclusive student experience. Shaping Futures is by far the reason we do what we do – so that underrepresented and underserved communities are not forgotten.
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: By exchanging ideas, we shape futures. By adopting DEI, we enhance that mission and expand that vision to those who need it most. High skill, high wage occupations exist, and it is our goal to provide diverse populations the ability to be included in this career advancement by expanding equity capability through education.
- Excellence and Transparency: We aim to provide excellent learning resources through hands on simulations, virtual reality, augmented reality, and blended learning. This excellence allows students to learn on their own terms, in their own time, and to ultimately succeed in a hands-on environment. Our students, staff, and faculty promote this excellence through relatable instructor to student interactions. We maintain transparency in all that we do.
