This partnership advances SCC’s renowned Energy Generations
Operations Program, which prepares students to join the ranks of
Tallgrass’ nationwide team as a qualified operator or technician
for future work at a Tallgrass subsidiary, partner, or customer,
such as bio-fuels production facilities, gas turbine power plants,
electric transmission operations, wind farms, fertilizer
manufacturing, water and wastewater treatment plants, among
others.
“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,” said
Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Crystal
Heter, “…the only thing left to say,” she continued, “…is, let’s
get to work.”

Generation Operations program. Each recipient will be recognized as
