The program is one of many courses and trainings offered through Northern Essex Community College\u2019s Center for Corporate and Community Education. Topics include Performance Management, Team Building, LEAN Manufacturing and Conflict Resolution. Straumann is a global leader in tooth replacement and orthodontic solutions, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, with a facility in Andover, MA.<\/p>\n<p>Straumann first ran this program in 2019 with the goal of providing soft skills leadership training. \u201cDuring the program there was a great bonding with colleagues. We became more comfortable with each other \u2013 like family,\u201d says graduate Jose Ortiz-Lucas.<\/p>\n<p>This session at Straumann started in January of 2020, but had to be suspended due to Covid in March. Courses resumed in November of 2020 and the employees finally graduated just last month. Graduate Mariah Wentzell says \u201cThe group leader position I\u2019m in now at Straumann is my first management position. This program helped me feel more confident in my leadership role at Straumann.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Northern Essex plans to offer the program again at Straumann for their employees in 2022.
