Axalta Announces Exclusive Partnership with National Transportation Center
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA) is pleased to announce its
partnership with the National Transportation Center (NTC). The NTC is
the nation’s first centralized training and employment center created to
support the commercial transportation industry’s critical and long-term
training, workforce recruitment, and retention efforts. Axalta is happy
to extend its training resources to NTC and positively impact the future
of the transportation industry.
The NTC will provide individuals interested in working in the commercial
transportation repair and maintenance field with the knowledge to help
them succeed. The center will allow students to develop the skills
necessary to excel in heavy truck maintenance careers by offering
educational classes, apprenticeships and connecting them to rewarding
job opportunities.
Axalta will provide its interactive, commercial transportation
curriculum for use in NTC’s Heavy Truck Collision course, which focuses
on training military veterans how to properly prepare substrates and
successfully complete the truck refinishing process. The course will be
held monthly and administered by NTC field personnel. Axalta will supply
its ColorNet® color retrieval software and the color tools
needed for students to effectively take the course.
“It’s truly a pleasure to partner with the NTC and lead efforts to
influence the best practices for the trucking industry,” said Marcy
Fernandez, Axalta National Fleet Manager. “We are excited to see how
this new relationship will prepare current and future workers, and
improve the industry for the next generation.”
