COMANCO’s Employee Training Program (ETP) Strengthens Skills and Growth with Hands-On Learning
COMANCO hosted its revamped Employee Training Program (ETP) Focus Week across January, February, and March, welcoming 19 dedicated employees. This hands-on program is designed to elevate jobsite knowledge, skillsets, and collaboration across our teams. At COMANCO, safety, quality, and continuous improvement are built into every decision we make.
Built for the Field – and Beyond
The ETP curriculum focuses on essential jobsite fundamentals, including equipment setup, material preservation, high-quality installation standards, and quality control. This quarter’s sessions brought together Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, Leadsmen, and Foremen. They joined forces with our Quality Control team for an intensive and interactive learning experience.
Learning from the Best
A highlight of this quarter’s ETP was the involvement of Cruz Hernandez, one of COMANCO’s Master Seamers. His in-depth welding demonstrations emphasized technique and the purpose behind every procedure.
Equipment Technicians Justin “Jay” Grenke and Leodan “Leo” Gutierrez also led practical training. Jay guided attendees through wedge welding machine setup, adjustment, and troubleshooting. Leo focused on maintaining sewing machines in the field to reduce downtime and extend their life.
ETP Insights
Jose Martinez, a Project Engineer and ETP participant, reflected on the program’s impact.
“Everyone walked away with a stronger understanding of the tools we use on projects. I valued learning how to troubleshoot welding machines and the importance of preventative maintenance. It makes a big difference when office personnel can assist in the field. Knowing what field crews face daily – the quick thinking and constant adjustments – helps us support them more effectively and contribute to a successful project.”
Jorge Barrantes, COMANCO’s Employee Development Specialist and ETP organizer, shared:
“We rise by lifting others.”
His words reflect the mentorship and teamwork that make ETP so impactful.
Continuing Momentum
ETP continues to evolve with feedback from attendees, shaping future sessions to reflect real-world needs. As we continue into 2025, COMANCO remains focused on developing strong teams and reinforcing the “who, what, and why” behind every task.
