Barnhart Crane & Rigging Takes Training to New Heights with ITI Learning Hub

Barnhart Crane & Rigging is taking its changing its learning and development strategy for the benefit of its 1,600 team members with the Industrial Training International (ITI) Learning Hub.

Barnhart has invested heavily in workforce development, learning and safety for decades. Through its continuous improvement nature, Barnhart’s leadership team identified some growth areas it intended to solve in 2021 relating to workforce development.

According to Gene Kaercher, SVP of Engineering & Technical Services, and who oversees training, “At the time we were actually supporting ITI in the development of its field leadership and equipment technician online courses. When we learned that they had a robust learning management system along with their course libraries, we decided to learn more.”

ITI and Barnhart learned how the ITI Learning Hub could bring value to Barnhart’s operations some of which include tracking and creating improved workflows on expiration dates for qualification cards, certifications, and licenses; and delivering all online learning content in one place such as OSHA 10 from ClickSafety, ITI’s Crane & Rigging Library, and their own material. Using the integrated API interface of the ITI Learning Hub, all training will be seamlessly documented in Barnhart’s enterprise software.

Barnhart will be launching the new “Barnhart University” over the course of 2021 to its nationwide network of branches.
