New York based signatory contractor Sano-Rubin Construction Services has been in operation for over 100 years and knows that the key to success is not only being reliable and consistent but being responsive to industry needs. After compiling a precise training package that met Sano-Rubin’s job specific needs, Fischer described the partnership as an “exciting initiative.”

The first class of the Sano-Rubin training program began in September at the Albany Training Facility. Eric Coburn, Sr., Vice President of Field Operations at Sano-Rubin says it has provided the team with a reinforcement of best practices, career development and a solid investment in their future leadership. Their handpicked crew of nine apprentices and three foremen began with concrete panel training using details from a concrete foundation they constructed at the Albany High School Phase 2 project.

“When Sano-Rubin first approached the Training Fund with this idea, we were met with overwhelming enthusiasm,” said Coburn. “They provided us with a range of expertise from concrete foundations using Symons panel systems to conflict resolution helping to elevate our selected team of carpenters.”

The remainder of the program will include framing and drywall systems; doors and hardware; millwork; specialties including bathroom accessories and partitions; computer skills including Bluebeam and P-6 scheduling; LEAN processes; layout/survey; conflict resolution and OSHA 30 which will be provided to all Sano-Rubin supervisors.

This level of customized training stands out because it is tailored to each contractor’s needs, helping them build their next generation of leaders. Each class is run by different NASCTF’s instructors, who specialize in that aspect of the trade, which ensures our members gain the expertise, skills and the confidence to produce that particular type of work more efficiently on the jobsite for their employer.

By strategically and proactively providing training that translates to productivity on the job, there is no doubt that this type of training builds and amplifies future success for both our contractors and our members.
