"The HCC Scaling Program provided a unique opportunity to learn from successful entrepreneurs, investors, and thought leaders. The small cohort allowed for relationships to develop, facilitating even deeper dives into our subject matter outside of formal sessions. The ideas and insights I gained from this program will have a lasting impact on my business. I'm grateful to have been a part of the HCC Scaling Program, and I believe every budding entrepreneur or seasoned business owner should consider applying to be part of it."

"Contractor Academy was a wonderful blessing. I had been looking for a class to take, specific to construction, but was having difficulty finding one. I received an invitation from Jeff Anker (Saunders) to look into the classes taught by HCC Contractor Academy. Fantastic! It was everything I was looking for… and received the Business Development Certificate. I am sending my foreman to the next contractor classes…"

"The HCC Contractor Academy courses have been an incredible learning experience for our both entry level and senior field staff. Cost effective with industry professionals who can relate to what we see on site."

"I have met and made friends with many people across the Construction Industry, both on a personal and professional level. Professionally, I have enjoyed many new business development opportunities with top quality, professional and sought after businesses and General Contractors. On a personal level, I thoroughly value the friendships I have developed as well as the social atmosphere that surrounds our HCC meetings/dinners."

"This has been an invaluable resource for me. In 2018, I attended several classes that sharpened by skills and taught me new ones. It allowed me to access to learn from and network with general contractors that I hope to partner with and build collaborative relationships with fellow subcontractors. My participation in the certificate program through HCC Contractor Academy has given me the highest return on investment of any professional development courses I have taken. I highly recommend for those who want to improve their estimating knowledge to be a better partner in the industry. Thank you!"
