“I really do believe that learning – both in organizations and everywhere else – is the most important thing in our lives,” said Clancy. “In fact, learning has been the biggest constant in our journey to grow the business.”
Throughout his duration as a graduate student, Clancy believes that his time at the college played a large role in how he started his business. “The College of Technology moves boldly into nontraditional directions and helps evolve fields that the world later recognizes we cannot live without,” said Clancy.
Clancy continues to invest his time into the college through the Student Society of Human Resource Development (SSHRD), helping future HRD leaders transition into the real world.
“I feel like students are at a tough age where they have to navigate what they want to do in their lives, which can be a really difficult thing,” said Clancy. “If I can help these students to have the skills they need to be successful after graduation, then my work was worth it.”
Not only does Clancy invest in current UH students, but he also takes their potential and helps them grow through job opportunities.
“Almost all of our employees have come from UH,” said Clancy. “COT staff go out of their way to grow the students in their lives and careers, so I know that when I hire a COT grad, they will have a good foundation.”
As Clancy continues to grow his organization, he emphasizes the importance of learning. “As we continue to learn, we develop new innovations that lead us to not only become more successful, but to make a difference in the world,” said Clancy.
“Like every business owner, we strive for the day that our business pursuits will ‘pay off,’ but there really is no way of guaranteeing that,” said Clancy. “But what we can do is keep learning and keep rising to the challenges that confront us.”
