The Construction Education Council is pleased to present this exclusive 2-Day Dispatcher Training Program. A contracting firm’s dispatchers serve as the nerve center of the entire company. The more knowledgeable and capable they are at serving customers and communicating with field personnel, the better they can contribute to the success of the business. The training is designed to enhance your dispatcher’s skill set through group exercises, self-assessment tools and discussion groups.
The Dispatcher Training Program was originally developed in the US by a Task Force comprised of contractors from the Mechanical Service Contractors of America and the Managing Director of Transitions Consulting Group. The program has since been updated and adapted specifically for the Canadian Market by the Managing Partner Richard Worr Consulting.
