New River Community College has an upcoming Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training session that can help businesses reduce costs and increase productivity.
Yellow Belt is an eight-week course for entry-level employees seeking to improve their role in the company by using the concepts and methodologies of Six Sigma. The train-and-do process uses classroom activities, combining lecture and simulation exercises.
According to American Society for Quality, one corporation reported $1.6 million in savings within the first year of implementing a Six Sigma initiative.
The training is held in Christiansburg on Fridays beginning October 14 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The regular price for the program is $1,200, but with special state funding, the discounted price is $400. Additional financial assistance may also be available.
The course is one of 11 NRCC FastForward programs that provide affordable and short-term training through the Office of Workforce Development.
