Building the paths that take new hires from Day One to Independent, and the paperwork that proves they got there.
Built around your trade, not a template.
Who this is for
Companies where the work is real and almost none of it is written down
Plumbing, HVAC, electrical and fuel companies. Machine shops and small manufacturers. Roughly 40 to 400 people, in central and western Connecticut and the Hudson Valley.
If your best people train the new ones while doing their own jobs, but no two do it the same way, we can help. We bring consistency so that if people leave, you're not stuck. And if you're asked to prove your training, it's as easy as handing over a folder.
Where it starts
A review of how training actually happens on your floor
Weighted toward watching rather than asking. What people say they were taught and what actually gets transferred are two different things, and the gap is widest in exactly the kind of shop we work in.
Counts shown are a two-day review. A one- or three-day review scales the same way.
Then you get a written assessment: what's actually happening, what it's costing you in real numbers built from your own payroll and turnover figures, where you're exposed if someone asks for records, and what the options are to fix it — priced.
| Company size | Onsite | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Under 75 people | One day | $2,500 |
| 75 to 200 | Two days | $4,500 |
| 200 to 400 | Three days | $6,500 |
Half the fee credits against any work that follows. Payment is half at signing, half on delivery. And if you read the report and don't think it was worth what you paid, the balance is waived.
What comes after
Built one trade at a time
Most companies start with whichever trade hurts most and work outward. For each one you end up owning three things:
The standard
What Independent actually means for that job. Written down, and specific enough that two supervisors would agree on whether somebody's ready.
The path
What they learn, in what order, who teaches it, over how many weeks.
The record
Signed and dated proof that each person completed it. The document you hand an auditor, an insurer, or a lawyer.

A full assessment, start to finish
Written for a company we made up, so you can judge the method rather than take our word for it. Findings, a cost model, a risk register, and priced options.
Who you'd be dealing with
A small firm, founded by Nic Petersen
Twenty years designing training, mostly for people who don't work at desks. Based in New Fairfield and working across central and western Connecticut and the Hudson Valley.
We stay small on purpose. The person who scopes your review is the person who does it, and there's no account manager between you and the work.
