Painters Supply & Equipment Co. (PSE) will be showcasing its new learning center as it hosts
I-CAR spokesperson and past I-CAR Chairman
Chuck Sulkala in a Collision Industry Update Forum.
Sulkala will introduce the new I-CAR to collision repair owners and managers in the PSE service area. He will review the history of I-CAR, the new I-CAR Professional Development Program, test out options and answer questions related to the I-CAR training strategy.
“Technical training is a vital component in the success of today’s collision repair facility” says PSE VP Sales & Marketing Guy Bargnes. “In addition to working with I-CAR to bring training programs to our market, the opportunity to have an I-CAR spokesperson speak directly to shop owners and managers' regarding strategic training issues is a huge value that we are proud to facilitate. It is a primary reason why we established our Learning Center.”
Specifically, Sulkala will detail the role and level based I-CAR Professional Development Program launched last July. The Professional Development Program, created with the assistance of all segments of the collision industry, provides a framework for planning and tracking training achievement based upon an individual's role in a collision repair or insurance business. Sulkala will also explain the transition timeline for participants in the I-CAR Gold Class Professionals™ and Platinum Individual™ training recognition programs.
Sulkala will also highlight the many volunteer opportunities available to support collision industry training through the non-profit training organization.
