Notable Quote:
"With over a dozen SCC graduates serving across our footprint, we are proud to expand our relationship with the college. Our investments in Nebraska will significantly grow our workforce in the state while also creating new opportunities at our customer’s facilities along the way – meaning that with our project - and with SCC's program - the next generation of Nebraskan leaders can maintain their local roots while making a global impact. The only thing left to say is, let’s get to work."
Our Take:
This partnership between Tallgrass and Southeast Community College is a significant step forward for the energy sector in Nebraska.

This initiative will provide students with the practical skills and financial support needed to succeed, fostering local talent while addressing the broader industry's demand for skilled operators and technicians.
