   Clover Park Technical College's Workforce Development and Training Coordinator Cynthia Collins once spent time as a guest clown with Ringling Bros. Circus, says her experiences there offered insights into the value of organization and performance that drive her new vocation. These days, Collins and her team can take a circus of a company and turn it into a Fortune 500 contender.
   
   CPTC's training team offers courses in workforce assessment, course development, needs analysis, organizational development and others. Don't be fooled by the dry titles, she says. These courses are revved up for today's audience, draw from cutting edge organization techniques and most importantly, she says, they add energy to any organization. Just ask some of her clients, which include City of Tacoma, Fort Lewis, Franciscan Health Care and Rainier Pacific Bank.
   
   "We merge training concepts that have worked well for decades with ones that fit trends today," she explains.
   ...
   Companies looking for ways to improve efficiency and get rolling as the economy looks up should place Collins and her team in the essential investment file, not the tough sacrifice bin.
   
   "I think of cutting training as driving a car with the emergency break on," she explains.
