How We Built the Future of Electrical Construction Training

The electrical construction industry is in crisis: Electricians are retiring at an unsustainable pace — averting disaster will take a combination of technology and human effort. Here at Transfr we partnered with Trio Electric, a Houston-based electrical construction company, to build industry-leading hands-on simulations to augment Trio’s own training programs and help empower schools and CTE programs of all kinds to get their local learners on the path towards rewarding careers in the Electrical Construction field. We sat down with former Director of Instructional Design on Electrical Construction Kelly Novic and Electrical Construction SMEs Johnnie Parker and Myron Laurent to discuss the process of building these new training modules and what makes these modules so powerful for learners and training programs.
