QUESTION:

Do You Or Don’t You Send Employees for Training?

YES: 82%

  • I have had team members attend the [Wrapix Academy] training in SoCal and the result is top-notch. Even though we do not specialize in wraps, it gave us a good understanding and relationship with how to work with different materials. Several also attended Matthews Paint training and even among my experienced painters, they all came back having learned something new. — Linda F., Oakland, CA
  • We deeply believe in training and continuing education. We’ve sent staff to other states for training (fully paid) and also paid for remote learning/training. It greatly benefits the staff member as well as the company! — Derek A., Columbus, OH

  • We encourage our project managers and installers to participate in vendor-sponsored training days and camps and also vendor factory tours or demo days. — Wade N., Owings Mills, MD
  • Offerings are not always in our state. It’s important to invest in staff. — Derek M., Regency Park, South Australia
  • I think we gain more than the info they gain. The employee comes back performing at a higher, more confident level. They also buy 100% into the mission statement of our business. — David K., Tualatin, OR
  • For specific training where we lack expertise, it has been very valuable. — Brian A., Milwaukee, WI
