The SouthWestern Assn., one of the largest dealer groups in the U.S., has added 75 new courses to its Online Campus curriculum.

“In an effort to help equipment dealers and our industry, 6 months ago, we began working to move from 300 hundred course titles on our Online Campus to over 600,” says Cory Hayes, director of education for the association. “We have just added 75 courses to our content library that cover a wide range of subjects including topics such as Social Media, Delegation and Diversity Training for all employees, in all departments.”

Courses are typically 10-15 minute tactical online video courses for parts, service, sales, administrative personnel and managers.  The idea is to help dealership employees become more knowledgeable about customer service, professionalism, leadership, safety and HR Compliance issues (DOT, OSHA, EPA as well).  Employees can access their assigned courses online at anytime, helping to reduce expenses and time away from duties.
