UNIVERSITY ADVISE

ASA-U ADVISE CORE OFFERINGS Get help starting your own training program!

• Strategic. Distributors build and implement a company-wide training program as opposed to pushing learning to new hires here and there.

• Scalable. Implementation is customized to make it applicable for a single location supply house or a multi-branch, multi-state, multi-channel distributor.

• Proactive. Learners grab content when they need it to plug a skill gap or prepare for their next role.

• Credible. The training plan will be built upon the onthe-job skills and knowledge required to be successful.

• Flexible. It can include content from ASA or anywhere else---put it all together so employees know exactly where to go for any training need.

• Supportive. An ASA Advisor is available for phone support during the implementation phase to help when challenges arise back home.

What Members Say

We knew we wanted to train our people, but didn’t know where to start. ASA came in, customized the process for us, and taught our managers how to find courses from the behaviors their people showed on-the-job. That was 2 years ago, and we’ve been training ever since!
