IPC COMMUNITY 18 SPRING 2024 This training package gives our employees with disabilities a stable platform to provide higher-level training that would otherwise be very difficult to establish without a dedicated training coordinator just for the electronics manufacturing services division. Being able to group employees for specific training classes enables us to schedule content review meetings to ensure that everyone has ample opportunity to get help with any areas they may have trouble with. Why did you choose IPC's training subscription service? Andrew: There are multiple reasons for select- ing the IPC training subscription, including: • All courses are online and self-paced, and students have access to content for 90 days. • Several courses establish the baseline for determining candidates who can pursue operator certification for IPC-A-610, IPC-A-620 and IPC J-STD-001. • Multiple lower-level courses have been released to assist with the onboarding of non-industry employees. • Without a Certified IPC Trainer on staff, a robust training system for industry training was needed. We have a solid training system for ISO/general/HR items, but it does not include higher-level training for the elec- tronics manufacturing industry. The program has been in place for severalweeks. What has been the feedback so far? Andrew: That feedback has been very good with a decent range of positive comments related to the intensity and quality of the content. The training is driving discussion with production floor staff as they navigate the training in the same timelines. How are participants responding to the IPC courses? George Hadley: The feedback I have received has been very positive. The amount of detail in the courses is very good and relevant to what we do. The only fear expressed by the employees is not being able to pass the quiz by the third time. I tell them to take notes as they go through each section; hearing the content and writing it down will help with retention.
