Trainer to the Pros — How Simpson Strong-Tie Educates the Industry By Michael Weber
Did you know that Simpson Strong-Tie offers free education and training to the construction industry? Indeed, we do. For several decades, Simpson Strong-Tie has made a commitment to supporting the development of our industry, and each year we educate tens of thousands of industry pros — engineers, architects, dealers, contractors and building inspectors — about the latest building code updates and best construction practices. Our regional training centers offer workshops providing solution options to meet current construction industry challenges, with instruction on proper specification, correct installation and the inspection of connectors and structural systems. Many of the courses include opportunities for hands-on installation and testing demonstrations of Simpson Strong-Tie products. Additionally, we offer courses on topics — such as changing construction practices, or building to resist seismic forces or high winds — of particular relevance to specific geographic regions. This commitment to education sets us apart within the manufacturing industry, and it’s an aspect of our customer service in which we take great pride as a company.
Why does Simpson Strong-Tie offer training to construction industry professionals? Simpson Strong-Tie has been designing and manufacturing construction solutions for more than sixty years, with the goal of helping people build safer structures. Construction is an industry we’re deeply committed to, and we take our responsibilities as a building manufacturer very seriously. All our training efforts are ultimately focused on improving construction quality and the overall strength and safety of structures. Continued next page
