Ask the Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) team the key to business growth and they’ll wholeheartedly endorse investing in training. In fact, they’ll go as far as to say training initiatives are the backbone of the company.
Over the course of 40 years in business, BAC has reaped the rewards of a focus on continuous employee development and supporting emerging talent, crediting this approach with overcoming challenges to culminate in a highly skilled workforce developed in-house.
To build on this momentum, BAC recently developed a purpose-built apprentice-training space equipped with the latest tools and technologies. When paired with the comprehensive training framework pioneered in close collaboration with TAFE NSW blending on- and off-the-job learning experiences, it’s easy to see why the company’s apprentices are sought-after industry-wide.
And, outside the workshop, BAC is dedicated to weaving training into the fabric of its entire business, resulting in a holistic approach to employee development to foster an inclusive, safe, and productive workplace for all.
