WASHINGTON - The National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW) has joined the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) Educational & Scholastic Foundation's efforts to launch an industrial distribution curriculum for community colleges. The goal of the program, according to NAW, is to develop local pools of qualified potential employees and create affordable resources for employee development.
"Workforce issues are critical for all wholesaler-distributors, regardless of line of trade or size," said Ron Schreibman, NAW senior vice president of strategic development. "NAW is delighted to add its name to the roster of associations involved in addressing this issue for our members and the industry as a whole."
