Business Impact Initiative (Bi2)

About

SKC, Inc., located in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania, is the world leader in sampling technologies, manufactures quality air sampling equipment for professionals working in occupational and environmental health and safety and in indoor air quality.

The Challenge

SKC, Inc., was in need of a program to engage their emerging leaders that included some new skills and especially continued coaching. Each participant is/was in a state of transition and needed guidance on how to improve their ability to positively impact the organization. This initiative was also focused on helping to develop each participant’s as whole people and not just professionals. SKC, Inc., turned to Catalyst Connection, part of the Pennsylvania MEP and the MEP National Network™, for help.

Thank you so much for everything you did for our group. This was an invaluable experience for me personally and for my colleagues. The impact of the time we spent as a group will be long lasting and I am excited to see the things that we will be able to accomplish together in the future.
— Lisa Lawler, Contracts/Services and Executive Assistance to the President

MEP's Role

Catalyst Connection introduced SKC, Inc., to a new leadership program, Business Impact Initiative (Bi2).
