Taking CRE Education to the Next Level

Schneider: “Millennials, like any new generation in the workforce, can benefit greatly from learning about the experiences of their veteran colleagues.”

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA—Starting a learning academy was the answer to training for Park West, where employees are taught how to manage the reality of a changing business environment better and how to improve the client experience, Bryan Schneider, director of academic development for the firm, tells GlobeSt.com. The firm, a leading provider of landscape-construction, landscape-management and tree care services, recently created the Park West Learning Academy to provide a range of training programs for its employees.

At the academy’s opening in May, Park West CEO Jim Tracy said to attendees, “As an organization, we have set aggressive goals for growth in the coming years. For us to reach them, we will need each and every one of you to be your best. This academy will be the place where we come together in our common cause to grow as professionals and as people. The opening of our academy is a defining moment and a milestone in the evolution of our organization and culture.”
