DALLAS, April 20, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- SkinzWraps, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SKZW), a full-service vehicle wrapping company, today revealed details about its proprietary employee-training program.
"We've developed a unique training and certification process over the past three years in an effort to build the absolute best team of installers in the industry," stated CEO Peter Salaverry. "The result is a more efficient and effective system. What used to take up to a year of training with plenty of trial and error can now be done in 60 days with a 99% success rate, thanks in large part to the experience and expertise of our master installers, who've been with us from the beginning."
The 250-hour training program turns new employee recruits into apprentice installers in just two months through an intense, hands-on approach. Following a brief introduction, trainees hone their skills in the company's unique, vehicle-wrapping simulator, which allows them to work through a full spectrum of different vehicle shapes and surfaces simultaneously. This meticulous, step-by-step process of installing and uninstalling wraps uses only recycled scrap material, so the hard costs are negligible.
"Having this program in place is one of the keys to our national growth strategy," Salaverry added. "Being able to quickly train and certify installers here in Dallas enables us to scale up quickly to meet demand and also to send teams anywhere in the country, wherever the clients may be. We eventually plan to build SkinsWraps training and certification centers at each of our other locations."
SkinzWraps qualifies three levels of installers: apprentice, installer, and master installer. The latter two oversee all of the company's warranted wraps.
