They did an incredible job. The labs were facilitated by Ms. Spears. The students worked through four stations that included: Customer support with technical issues, Financial operations, Practicing Active Listening, Teamwork and much more.

Kudos to these students for being actively engaged, creative and for meeting the requirements to earn their CRI and becoming a Customer Service Pro.
