GRANDVIEW PLAZA — Barton Community College’s Grandview Plaza campus in Geary County was the site of national “Train the Trainer” sessions. The satellite campus focuses primarily on education in the realms of Occupational Safety and Health Administration, hazardous materials management and emergency management.The sessions held May 16-18 were refresher courses targeted at individuals responsible for training others within their own organization. Each participant had previously worked through a two-week training course, but trainers are required to attend the refresher courses every two years.Dean of Technical Education Bill Nash said it’s a big step for Barton Community College to be chosen to host one of the sessions, which are held three times per year at various locations across the country.“Prior to a couple of years ago, we didn’t have the facilities for the training, and we didn’t have a major airport nearby,” Nash said.
