For the past two years, The Unified Group has been providing an important training opportunity to its contractor members. The program is called Technician Boot Camp. The name may sound threatening, but the program has nothing to do with rigorous training. In fact, the program is all about soft skills.
According to Julie Bishop, executive director of The Unified Group, the Technician Boot Camp got its name because the goal of the program is to provide technicians with the basic training and fundamental skills needed to succeed in the field. But this training has nothing to do with technical expertise, but everyday survival skills such as communication, business practices, teamwork, and much more.
