For this #FreighterFriday, we thought we’d share a new training space at Interlake’s corporate office. Located in our reconfigured loft area at our headquarters, the new space offers a dedicated learning environment to promote various kinds of training. "The long-term vision is to hold a variety of other training there to help build the knowledge, skills, and abilities of our sailors," says Joe Del Priore, Interlake’s Manager of Health and Safety. Safety Joe, as he is nicknamed, had the vision and did the lion’s share of the work to create the new training space. "By assessing our training needs, we have an area that can host internal or third-party instructors to ensure our fleet is prepared for the challenges they face." Tables and chairs can be easily moved to customize the educational experience. An unused television was repurposed to allow for multimedia use. The location also provides for a blended learning experience: trainees can participate in general lectures before easily transitioning into the warehouse to perform hands-on training. The most routine function is hosting new hires for orientation classes. Spare equipment and signs were used to make it feel more ship-like and to help new sailors become more familiar with the shipboard environment. With a little more work, the floor will resemble the bow of a ship with helpful stenciled words like, “port” and “starboard”. #safetyfirst #fullsteamahead #training #mariners #vision #hardwork #Orientation #setupforsuccess #neverstoplearning
