Description

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

If you want to learn building automation then you are in the right place. My name is Phil Zito and I am the CEO of Smart Buildings Academy. If you are a technician, operator, salesperson, or engineer the Smart Buildings Academy podcast is for you. Each week I tap into my vast experience in Building Automation and teach you the things no one else teaches. You will learn about BAS, HVAC, IT, Energy Management, Sales, Operations, Project Management, Cyber Security and so much more. Prior to founding Smart Buildings Academy, I held a variety of BAS roles in service, install, operations management, sales, and most recently I led the technical integration program at Johnson Controls. Suffice to say, I've been in your shoes and I know what you need to learn. I look forward to guiding you through BAS in the weekly Smart Buildings Academy Podcast.
