Advantageous Spin on Training. Yeagers department integrates HART lines extensive in-house training with extra training provided by manufacturers and suppliers. In some instances, HART gets the training for free. For example, as Yeager describes it, Lift-U Corporation, the largest provider of wheelchair mechanisms to the bus industry, sends a trainer to conduct classes demonstrating the use of their three styles of lifts. Yeager emphasizes again that maintenance training at HART is self-driven.
Workers move along as quickly as they can or wish to.
We offer training modules in bite-size pieces with no enforced time frame, Yeager says. This acts as an incentive for learning and progressing. Demands on the Maintenance Department are ever-increasing, Yeager concedes. But he doesnt dodge the work or the issues even solving peculiar problems that have no textbook answers, such as battling nuisance birds. Tampa is the Migratory Mecca for wandering starlings, grackles and blackbirds, Yeager declares.
