Historically, our industry has not relied on training to any great level; with the exception of selected apprenticeships, it is fair to say that the training available to our industry has been minimal.
The benefits of training are multiple, but in the sign and print industry it is just not something we have traditionally invested in. This is typically because ‘we know what we know’ and it has worked perfectly fine so far; however, training improves workforce confidence and competency, which in turn provides your customers with a better service and increased profitability.
The opportunities that training can offer are not limited to materials and products, there is benefit to sharing ideas in a group and talking through experiences.
Demonstrating that you invest in training will help you gain the reputation for being up to date with the latest materials, products and techniques. This will also show your workforce your commitment in their personal and professional development.
“The Make It Happen workshops have been a great addition to ISA International Sign Expo. Sam’s knowledge of the latest products and her strategies for upselling made it extremely popular with our attendees. She has an innate ability to tailor materials for everyone from novices to experienced business owners and ensure that all were getting value from the time invested. We are thrilled to welcome her back again.”
I am glad I came, this was of excellent value. Excellent presenter, loved her sense of humour. The knowledge, the humour, the examples, the hands-on examples and demonstrations superb.
Very organised and structed very well. Very informative and presented very well, easy to understand and well organised.
