TRAINING
COMPETENCE MANAGEMENT
Vinco implemented a Step Program approximately 15 years ago. This program consisted of detailed skills that were required for each discipline and levels within that discipline and is openly posted at each of our locations. When an employee notified a supervisor that they felt they were ready to move to the next level, written and hands–on skills tests were given. This program is still in use primarily for the lower-level RF technicians; however, the certification program implemented by the NWSA and now required by most of our customers emulates what we were doing in-house so rather than duplicate efforts, we no longer use the Step Program to the same extent for the upper–level RF technicians.
In the current environment, it has proven difficult to find enough sufficiently qualified employees for our field leadership positions. To keep advancing the promising employees we already have, we implemented a new program. The new program is called Vinco Interactive Training and Advanced Learning (VITAL) and is offered to employees that our management team feels have the skillset, personality, and desire to keep progressing in their career at Vinco. The course consists of extensive one on one time with a Field Supervisor and Operations Manager to not only learn the physical skills of completing installations/testing/etc., but also includes organization, communication, and personnel management curriculum.
Safety training is also a very large part of our training curriculum. All employees are required to take at least some form of safety training regardless of position. The safety training curriculum available to the employees is listed below.
