SBA 380: How to Rapidly Develop a Workforce

Are you struggling to find technical talent? Are you unable to execute backlog due to labor shortages? If so you're not alone. In this episode of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast we unpack how to develop talent right now. For as long as I can remember the prevailing belief has been that it takes years to train a building automation technician. In this episode we are going to unpack how we built a 11-week training program that has trained postal workers, hotel lobby clerks, and gas station attendants to become profitable BAS technicians in 11 weeks. We will discuss lessons learned, how you can implement a similar program in your business, and how to find talent to place into a program of this type. We will also discuss our plans for future Workforce Development Solutions. Resources:  https://www.smartbuildingsacademy.com/wfd-info_employers
