With labor shortages in many states, savvy business owners know that they need a solid plan to recruit and train new employees in order to grow their business.
A well-trained workforce is a critical component of any growing company—especially for plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling businesses that need to compete against other trades for recruits.
Having staff who have completed an online vocational training program, such as NexTech Academy’s HVAC technician training or plumber training program, can improve your business results, help speed job completion, and boost your revenue.
Knowing when to hire new employees—and how much technical training they need—may not be clearly mapped out in your business plan.
In addition, finding an experienced employee with a vocational training background may seem impossible in this job market. If you hire an employee with no vocational training, you might have to take time away from important projects to teach in-depth skills.
Training programs from NexTech Academy allow employees to learn on-the-job skills while completing vocational training online. Many business owners have found our education model to be advantageous to growing their plumbing and HVAC contractor companies.
Meeting the Training Needs of Your Business Online
Growing your business is a good feeling. But, if your expanding client load is stretching your company’s resources, you may need to find cost-effective ways to advance your current team’s expertise or augment a new hire’s skill set via our online vocational training programs.
HVAC technician training and plumber training programs don’t just help your business stay on top of the latest industry trends, they also give employees those crucial soft skills, like communication, work ethic, teamwork, and more.
Online vocational programs can make the difference between an average workforce and a highly professional, helpful, and reliable team.
Invest in Online Technical Training for Employees
Online technical training is extremely cost-effective and is an investment comparable to buying a new truck or spending money on necessary tools. Helping your employees to work better and faster through additional training creates workers you can rely on.
With NexTech Academy, you will be able to track your employees’ performance as they complete their training modules online and see if their job performance is improving.
