Ivy Tech students will be able to work toward their Six Sigma White Belt certification under a program from Ivy Tech Community College in Columbus.

Chris Schilling, spokesman for the school says that the white belt training gives students strategies for continuous improvement in quality assurance, problem solving, customer relations, project team work and waste elimination. The skills are used and are demand in industries such as healthcare and manufacturing.

Schilling said 16 students have enrolled in the Associate Accelerated Program this fall, where the white belt training is being conducted. Students in the Associate Accelerated Program can earn their associate’s degree in a year and take that on to a four-year college. After finishing the white-belt training, students can earn the white belt certification through testing.
