Employee training offered
Companies that need employee training can take advantage of courses at Daytona State College Center for Business and Industry.
A local company, A/C Doctor Complete, of Daytona Beach, recently took advantage of a program to improve skills to keep up with the busy housing market, according to Frank Mercer, director of CBI.
“This is a good example of the college and Career Source working with a local business he said.”
Mercer said Career Source helped provide financing.
Faculty from the college went to the business and trained the workers in air duct fabrication, at the request of the company, Mercer said.
Mercer said this was a new type of training, because it was based on a company request for a specific need. Ducts must be fabricated at job sites to accommodate different installations. He said the college has a regular class in commercial duct fabrication, but this special class was needed for residential ducts.
The Center for Business and Industry offers various classes, from general courses such as leadership training to specific skills.
“We customize training for companies and offer private training,” Mercer said.
He said the great amount of participation in the courses tells him there is a need for training in the area.
