Skills maintenance support continues

New seminar format well received by builders

PlaceMakers has once again been touring New Zealand, providing builders with the opportunity to get up to speed with industry changes – and earn elective skills maintenance points – by attending its latest round of skills maintenance seminars.

For this round of seminars, PlaceMakers allocated half the time to six speakers – three technical and three business-focused – to provide extra expertise, which has been well received by customers.

“Based on attendee feedback, all respondents found the session useful and the topics of relevance,” says Trade Engagement Manager Andrea Albertyn. “Some of the host branches reported an increase in attendance numbers compared to last year, with a couple of stores having to change their venue at the last minute to accommodate the extra numbers!”

The quick survey form, handed out after the completion of each session, measures how well the different presentations hit the mark.

The feedback is invaluable in helping identify what’s working and where improvements are needed, so trade customers can expect PlaceMakers to continue refreshing the LBP series to ensure attendees get maximum value in return for taking valuable time off the tools!
