EPIC (Educational Programs Inspiring the Community)

I have a background in accounts payable and a degree in business management. I saw that TMCC EPIC had a bookkeeping course and I wanted to update my skills. I’m so happy I took it! Everything made so much sense the way the instructor Donna Kamen taught it. Thank you for giving me the confidence I needed to seek a new job.

Take Time for Yourself

What have you dreamed of doing? Become a novelist, play the guitar or venture into the Nevada outback with the help of our talented instructors. Feed your soul; the yard work can wait another day.

The Power Tools for Women was so fun and practical. I loved getting familiar with the tools and making my own picture frame.
