C2 Cares
Community outreach—“giving back”—is an important part of C2’s DNA.
C2 has established the non-profit Cox Family Foundation to work with charitable and community organizations, educational
institutions, volunteer and non-governmental organizations worldwide. It supports poverty eradication, public education, public health,
underserved populations, emergency and disaster response, and accessibility of arts and culture to all citizens.
Our staff volunteer their time to work in Third World countries, schools, senior centers, shelters, and religious and community
organizations. Listed below are organizations supported by C2.
"Dear Ms. Oberoi, On behalf of the Foundation, I would like to thank you for the generous donation and assure you that we make very careful use of all the donations received by us."
"Thank you for supporting under privileged children in our school each year. The kids and their parents express their gratitude for the scholarships or else they would not have access to notch education in India."
“On behalf of Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation, we sincerely thank you for your support of 30 Ekal Vidyalaya schools bringing basic education to first generation of learners in remote areas of India in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Through your generous support, nearly 700 children are able to get an elementary education. Ekal's holistic approach to education not only helps the children learn the 3 Rs, but also helps plant the seeds of confidence and good citizenship in the child. Your support has a generational impact in these communities. Our sincere thanks to Curtis Cox and Dolly Oberoi for their generous support.
What sets C2 apart from other Government contractors is not just their superior technical expertise, effective business practices, innovative solutions, and outstanding customer service. It’s the unique synergy they create with the customer from Day 1 and nurture throughout the engagement. In doing so, they become a trusted advisor, working in collaboration with the customer toward a shared goal.
C2 under Dolly's leadership is always impressive, responsive, and customer-focused. C2's management of projects is exceptional. They are customer-focused and committed to delivering products and services on time, within budget and with a superior quality. C2 takes into consideration the client's budget limitations, but never lowers the quality of their service or products. For example, a client was seriously underfunded for their training requirement. The client recognized the integrity and appreciated the fact C2 demonstrated their interest in them accomplishing their critical mission, versus a temporary monetary gain. C2 reflects their senior management’s philosophy of customers’ first, integrity, providing a quality product and establishing a repetition for excellence. During my ten-year association with C2 they have maintained a 99.8% overall customer satisfaction rating for products and services delivered to VMB’s clients. None of this success would have been possible without the dynamic leadership of Dolly Oberoi. Her ability to connect to the client needs and speak their language is unprecedented; resulting in continuous requests by new and former clients for C2’s services.
C2 Technologies has been successful and will continue to grow because of its commitment to customer service and its ability to properly combine high tech and high touch in its delivery of e-learning solutions.
C2 must be an amazing place to work. Everyone I meet from there is so talented. I recognize talent when I see it. All the C2 people I met were top-notch.
C2 is the gold standard in performance and customer relations. They are creative, resourceful and always willing to be flexible to meet our changing needs. They are our go to company.
I don’t have any specific comments from a design viewpoint other than what I said about the last modules I reviewed. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. The best I’ve seen. I enjoyed going through it even though the material is a little out of my realm
Your efforts have been no less than outstanding. Providing Aircrew training to two major weapons systems, from split locations on base, is a daunting task.
C2 staff has done a wonderful job for us. They are very responsive and accommodating. We are most pleased
Seminar 2 was a great success, thanks to your team. They are doing great things with us! They epitomize professionalism. Thanks for choosing them to be on my team!
“Wish to thank your team at C2 for committing to examine the problems users have been experiencing with the AFCEC HazMat course. Although C2’s portion of the project ended in 2018, helping Alton and his team in time of need not only speaks volumes on your commitment to the AFCEC and your partnership with HCIS, but your commitment to the thousands of first responders who need the course for certification. For that, I cannot thank you enough! I am including Stuart as he is aware of the situation and I am sure echo my gratitude to you and your team. Thank you!” - Marjani Mitchell, OPM
I wanted to express my appreciation for my unexpected and generous bonus. Even in good times, most employers do not do more than the minimum to keep employees. Curtis and Dolly go above and beyond for the employees is a true measure of dedication to those fortunate enough to work for C2. I am passionate about fixing vintage cars in my spare time.
I have been at C2 for nine years now and am having just as much fun as, if not more fun than, I had when I first started. C2 is a fun and challenging place to work. The people I have been able to work with during my time at C2 have all been smart, easy to get along with, and interested in working together to provide the best solutions possible. I hear from others that their contributions are not noticed by their bosses or they don’t really feel a part of the team. It is impossible to feel that way at C2. Everyone plays an important role and many of us play multiple, diverse roles. You don’t get lost in the shuffle at C2.
I landed an instructional systems design internship with C2 during my graduate school career at JMU. My internship turned into a full-time position upon graduation. In my four and a half years with the company, I have moved up in position from an intern to an Instructional Systems Designer II. Throughout this time, I’ve had amazing experiences collaborating creatively with others and creating a wide range of amazing training solutions for our clients. C2 believes in their employees, and gives them opportunities to lead and succeed in their careers. I am proud of all that I have accomplished with my C2 family.
I’ve started at the front desk 15 years ago and now I am Senior Financial Analyst. I have enjoyed working at C2 because it has allowed me opportunities to grow and rise in my career. Continuous learning opportunities are always available at C2. It’s a great company with great people who value work-life balance and provide me with flexibility I needed in my career. The leaders are compassionate and have created a wonderful work with good benefits. I especially enjoy the pot lucks and parties.
I was one of the first hires in the Hampton Roads office 12 years ago. I love that every day, I get to employ my creative abilities to create everything from print-based marketing materials to interactive gaming simulations. I find it enjoyable and energizing that with each contract we work, the projects and their content are always unique. Our creativity has to keep pace with the technologies we use, which keeps work life exciting. Outside of work, I use my team building skills to coach Little League baseball and soccer.
I joined C2 after retiring from the Air Force. I have been with the C2 family for seven years. During this time, I have had the opportunity to lead the production of many award-winning products. The most enjoyable part of working for C2 is the diverse and talented group of people with whom I am partnered. Our teams routinely include a mix of skill sets with experiences ranging from interns eager to share their ideas for employing emerging technology to seasoned designers who participated in deploying some of the first computer-based training for DoD. This collaborative environment with a team-centric focus allows us to consistently provide quality and innovative products to our customers. When I am not collaborating with my C2 teammates, I can be found looting and pillaging the fish communities of the James River and the Chesapeake Bay on anything that floats.
Starting as an Intern 18 years ago, I have had amazing career growth here. I am now in a Senior leadership position. I am continually amazed at the products we produce and the people that I get to work with. Our “family” environment provides for a collaborative atmosphere that leads to new and innovative ideas that provide our clients with the best possible solutions. With leadership that looks to its employees for their expertise, I feel that everyone in our company is valued for what we bring to the table. I am proud to be a part of C2.
There’s a real drive to make things happen, and the company really employs a hard work ethic. If I ever need help, they always find a way to make requests happen. We value our customers, and people care about their customers. I stay with the company because of the customers— I’ve been working with people for 5-6 years, and feel committed to them and the projects. Customer service is a big value I see at C2.
I started working here in 2004, and thought the company would be a great fit. I’ve stayed for the people – the people really make it worthwhile. Work can be challenging in any job, but it’s worth staying ten years when you work with people you like and have a real sense of camaraderie with your teammates.
