We’ve been on a training theme for the last couple of episodes which, I think, is super relevant considering the average level of experience in the winter maintenance profession right now. As maintenance managers, where do you go to get relevant, state of the practice, training for you’re winter maintenance operators and supervisors?
One option is offered through the American Public Works Association. We just wrapped up a great conversation with Dan Schacher of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Northern Region Maintenance & Operations Manager and, more importantly, coordinator for APWAs Winter maintenance supervisors and operator certificate program.
Dan explains that this program is geared for state and local supervisors and operators alike. Listen in as we visit with Dan as he tells us about this certificate program and how it might be well suited for your staff.
For more information on the APWA Supervisor and Operator Certification Program you can email Dan at daniel.schacher@alaska.gov
