The rewards of construction industry training are clear for business owners: efficient, knowledgeable workers who are confident, capable and up to date with the latest innovations that boost productivity.
A shortage of well-trained workers is among the many headwinds buffeting the construction industry.
And as more businesses enter the light gauge steel frame fabrication market, they not only need the best roll forming machines, software, support and business planning. They also need to tap into an effective source of training to quickly and effectively get their staff and/or contractors up to speed.
That’s why at Scottsdale we’ve developed an extensive video training library within our Knowledge Base customer portal. It’s all part of the welcome for new members of the Scottsdale family.
Our service and support packages includes training
When you commit to growing your business with Scottsdale, you not only receive robust, precision machines and seamless, intelligent software. You’ll also get the most comprehensive package of support, service and business know-how in the industry, including:
- unlimited 24/7 global response
- maintenance, spare parts
- business setup/operations
- training
- Knowledge Base.
Our initial 9-day training program (7 days software, 2 days factory commissioning) will have you up and operating quickly and profitably. But you’ll periodically need to:
- keep up with the latest software changes
- refresh previous learning
- onboard new staff.
This is where the online training videos come in. You’ll find they’re a convenient way to boost skills and productivity. And it’s all part of the package.
