Formal Classroom Training Required
Wide disparities exist in the number of formal classroom training hours provided to the IndustryWeek Best Plants winners and finalists. No doubt the size of the company and the complexity of the products manufactured play roles in the training hours. That said, both median and average training hours for the IW Best Plants winners and finalists have been steadily increasing over the past five years.
