In-demand Skills Available On-demand to Develop Future Craft Workers
SCRANTON, PA and KALAMAZOO, MI— Penn Foster, a leading provider of skills development training and credentials for today’s frontline workforce, and Trillium Staffing, one of the nation’s largest construction staffing firms, today announced a partnership between the two companies to make no-cost, construction-focused courses available to Trillium employees to empower them to gain skills and increase employability.

As more companies work to mitigate the skills gap, Trillium and Penn Foster are serving as examples of ways education/skills training providers and staffing firms can partner to benefit employees, employers and communities. The program is accessible online for employees who want to grow their knowledge and gain new in-demand skills in the construction trade.

“By offering these online courses to our employees, we are providing a platform that combines the freedom for them to continue earning in their current positions with the flexibility to complete courses that will create a path toward more highly skilled and higher-paying construction-related jobs,” said Jenna Mathieu, Marketing Manager, Trillium. “By partnering with Penn Foster, a prominent player in workforce development, we’re also doing our part to address the skills gap that continues to cause labor market challenges.”

Penn Foster, a leading provider of skills development training and credentials for today’s frontline workforce, delivers its courses in a self-paced, competency-based model wrapped by comprehensive academic, professional and personal support and coaching — all offered as part of Penn Foster’s PFx online/mobile learning platform.

“Our flexible course options enable Trillium to create a customized program that meets the company’s specific upskilling needs and its goal to produce highly competent construction trade employees,” said Dara Warn, Chief Outcomes Officer, Penn Foster. “Together, we are able to customize the Trillium brand experience, enabling Trillium to differentiate within the construction talent marketplace by offering career paths and training opportunities. The end game is that we’re working to make a real difference in skills and employability.”

Professional Development Day…It's Not Just for Teachers

Jenna Mathieu — Tue, 11 Mar 2014 12:56:09 +0000

Was the last time you heard the phrase “Professional Development Day” in relation to teachers training while students had the day off? Shouldn’t we all take a day away from our primary responsibilities to refresh our skills and cross train with our peers? Absolutely!

While it may seem nearly impossible to pull your staff away from their day to day duties, the growth and development could be priceless for your organization. Partnering seasoned staff members with those who are new to the organization or even from different departments, can be great way to gain new insights, ideas, and processes.

Here are just a few of the benefits of getting your team together for some training refreshers:

Increased productivity
Increased morale
Better collaboration between departments
Idea generation increases
Decreased employee turnover
Reduction in costs due to errors or lost productivity
Cross training opportunities
Increased communication
Inefficient processes identified

Training and employee development can be performed as formally or informally as you see fit and can be achieved with very little financial investment. The key components to hosting a successful staff development day are having a well planned and organized agenda outlining what areas you hope to cover and what objectives you have to accomplish. Be sure to consider your audience and set clear expectations for everyone who will be joining on what they should bring, what they should prepare for, and any topics that they should be prepared to speak on.
