We typically attend an in-person training seminar each year, and we rotate different individuals
dividuals
based on the programs they maintain. The training is vital to our continued success and is one-
on-one training with the company that created the software, and I consider the training
invaluable. Due to COVID we
have not attended for the last two years and have transitioned to a
new platform in that time. The opportunity for our maintenance team members to lea '
learn directly,
attend classes specific to their needs, and to be able to network with theireers from
p acro s s
Washington State and the Country is of great benefit to the Count their continued learning, arning, and
professional development.
