54 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK Jo Morris Marketing Director, Fastener Training Institute ® FASTENER TRAINING INSTITUTE ® 5318 East 2nd Street #325, Long Beach, CA 90803 TEL 562-473-5373 FAX 661-449-3232 EMAIL info@fastenertraining.org WEB www.fastenertraining.org HOW EMPLOYEE TRAINING WILL CHANGE IN 2020 January is the ideal time to reflect on performance for the past 12 months and create a plan for learning and development for the coming year. Why should training be incorporated into fiscal growth? Because it helps businesses sell more, modernize better and improves customer service. But training is only effective when the skills and product knowledge learned is maintained and demonstrated afterwards in the workplace. Repetition, reinforcement and utilization are the keys for successful training and the trend to obtain all of these in 2020 is by offering training anytime, anywhere and on any device. The Fastener Training Institute’s Online Learning Library offers students access to more than 40 fastenerrelated topics that are engaging, relevant and convenient. Rental options range from two-week access to annual subscriptions with pricing structures to fit any size of company. These accessible training webinars allow students to repeat segments for effectiveness, learn at their own pace and expand development or cross train at a quicker speed. Reference materials and quizzes are available for most webinars. Sample Training Videos ¤ Fastener Basics ¤ Hydrogen Embrittlement ¤ What Suppliers Need to Know ¤ Understanding Fastener Strength and Hardness ¤ Vibration Resistant Fastening ¤ Fastener Failure Investigation - Parts 1 & 2 ¤ Distributor Fastener Quality - The Basics & Beyond This does not mean that the trend for traditional instruction is completely over. Student-focused instruction is another trend for training in 2020. Students are TECHNICAL ARTICLE looking for an experience that is face to face, interactive with group discussions, hands-on and even a little fun. Fastening 101 Presented by Industry Expert Laurence Claus in conjunction with Fastener Fair USA on Monday, May 18th, meets all the criteria of student-focused learning, especially the fun. Charlotte, NC, one of the biggest manufacturing hubs in the United States, will host this third annual fastener trade show dedicated to the full supply chain. Fastening 101 is more than the basics of threaded fasteners. Students will also explore why threaded fasteners are designed with certain specific features, as well as some very basic fastener engineering concepts. Students will discover the basics of how fasteners are made and gain an understanding that even though they may look similar, not all threaded fasteners are the same. The class will conclude with a Fastener Fair organized exclusive tour of a local plant, happy-hour and networking event. Whether online or in-person, the impact of your training will be marginal if your organization doesn’t have a plan for impact after the training is complete. All training requires validation and reinforcement. Make plans for 2020 to enable the greatest success for your company and visit the Fastener Training Institute to help with on-demand, in person or custom programs. A special thank you to Greenslade and Company for their year-long support of fastener training. Greenslade and Company thoughtfully donates their expert resources, time and equipment to Fastener Training Institute classes throughout the year enabling students to obtain hands-on fastener inspection lessons and learning.
