CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 22, 2011 — To meet the needs of manufacturers who rely on assembly and other late-stage processes in their facilities, Tooling U announces a new web-based coatings training program.
"Coating processes require a rigorous and consistent approach to avoid defects," said Chad Schron, division manager, Tooling U. "We wanted to make sure that we focused on defect prevention, as our automotive and aerospace customers expressed a strong interest in this area."
The coatings curriculum contains 5 titles that focus on topics and processes such as coating composition, surface preparation, application methods, and defect prevention. The classes are geared toward production-type roles with additional troubleshooting training also included.
Along with all other Tooling U content, the coatings training is delivered via a learning management system (LMS) that enables companies to administer and track training results for every employee. Companies can also customize and create individually tailored training programs that target specific knowledge gaps and prepare an individual for various roles within the company. The Tooling U coatings training is applicable for production employees, engineers, sourcing and technical sales.
