As seasoned maintenance staff retire, decades of institutional knowledge leave with them, while new hires often start without the technical foundation needed to maintain complex campus systems. The result? Lost time, rising costs, and early turnover.

During this webinar, we’ll explore the core skills new maintenance technicians need to succeed in the university environment and why so many fall behind in their first few months. You’ll learn how a structured, blended training approach that combines immersive simulations with on-the-job application can close those gaps early, reducing costly mistakes and turnover.

By emphasizing safety fundamentals, hands-on troubleshooting, and continuous skills assessment, you’ll see how to build a stronger foundation that boosts engagement, strengthens retention, and prepares technicians for long-term success on campus.

You’ll discover how to:

  • Implement a single training solution that delivers measurable skills assessment and structured, simulation-based learning to capture and replace lost institutional knowledge.
  • Use immersive simulations to give new hires unlimited, feedback-driven practice on high-voltage and complex systems—risk-free—before they ever touch live campus equipment.
  • Structure the first 90 days with clear technical paths, performance milestones, and career laddering to build confidence, engagement, and long-term retention
