STA students get hands-on experience

September 13, 2019

Thirty new employees to NDCS received a unique, hands-on experience last week. Instead of reporting, as usual, to the Staff Training Academy (STA), they went to the Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP) to assist with cell searches.

“This was a great opportunity to gain institutional knowledge in a not so routine situation,” said Ken Sturdy, Training and Development Manager at STA. “We talk a lot at the academy about what can happen, but this was a real chance for them to see what it’s really like.

September 9, 2019

Eric Spry, one of the process improvement coordinators at the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS), facilitates Yellow Belt training for teammates.

Yellow Belt training is part of the Center of Operational Excellence Lean Six Sigma program.
