“Mississippi State and Dr. Irvin have helped us to create a working environment that is producing significant manufacturing efficiencies to meet the challenges of our business”
Jeanne Edwards – Plant Leader for GE Aviation-Batesville Composites Operation

D&H Company, dba Dodge’s Stores, began its partnership with RCU over 6 years ago.  We have been fortunate to have Dr. Lemond Irvin as our primary contact for that time period.  He has facilitated the Covey Focus material to our training classes and has brought that very valuable information to over 200 of our most important  Team members.  Our partnership and the leadership of RCU has been one of the best business decisions from a training standpoint that D&H Company has made.   We are interested in developing long-term employment opportunities and very clear training and expectations move us toward that end. 

Thanks to Lemond and his team at RCU for the opportunity!
