Today is a pretty big day in MeyerFire-world.
I've spoken with contractors, consultants, plan reviewers, educators, insurance carriers, installers, inspectors - and we all continue to come back to one big issue that is holding our industry back right now. We need to develop new talent. For the organizations that are busy and growing - we need more help, and we need knowledgeable help. When we look out even a little into the future, even just 2-5 years from now, the problem will be compounded. Call it the Silver Tsunami, the Experience Exodus, the Golden Goodbye, or whatever other name the kids come up with - our industry has already lost a lot of experience to retirement, and that will only continue as many of the remaining Baby Boomers look to complete their careers. We need to develop new talent. We need something that can resonate with today's Gen Z. We need engagement, and a way to not just train in a two-day or two-week sprint, we need something that can help people new to the industry learn every single day, year-round. Around here we've thought and debated and circled on the idea for a solid couple years. I'm excited to say that we finally have the platform that we have built specifically to help develop new talent in the fire protection industry. We're calling it MeyerFire University: It's an all-new training platform built for those with 0-3 years experience, and covers technical topics like fire suppression, fire alarm, code, life safety, and specialized systems; it covers production topics like plan preparation, drafting, modeling, and plan review; and it covers business & career topics as well. It's everything we wish we had when we started, delivered in bite-sized, highly-visual video clips that are delivered daily and on-demand. Today is our "Soft-Launch". If your organization finds that you also have this need to help train and develop new talent - and you want to join in on this platform early - now is a good time to do so. We've only been in full production on our video content for a month and our platform is growing by five new video modules each week. If you're wanting to be an early adopter - we have a couple ways of saying thank-you and making sure the platform is worth your team's time.

This has been a dream we've worked towards for years now, and I'm thrilled that it's finally coming to light and can soon start helping teams like yours shine.
Thanks for your time and being a part of the community for better fire protection! Comments are closed.
