ARLINGTON, Texas — Ancora Training is pleased to announce its partnership with Smart Care, a leading national repair and service provider for commercial foodservice, refrigeration, and cold storage equipment. Ancora Training launched a customized parallel rack refrigeration systems training program for Smart Care’s employees in early August 2024.
The training program focuses on parallel rack refrigeration systems, essential for keeping industrial refrigerators and freezers cold. This innovative system allows multiple coolers to share the same refrigerant and oil charge, enabling efficient and simultaneous cooling of several units within a facility. This new collaboration aims to support the career advancement of Smart Care employees by providing essential training that aligns with the company’s business operations. The partnership also helps Smart Care meet their clients’ business needs and operational goals.
“This partnership comes at a critical time when there is a growing need for skilled labor in our country,” said Natalie Williams, Vice President of Ancora Training. “Smart Care recognizes the value of further educating existing employees rather than searching for candidates with the exact skillset.”
“When tasked with developing a parallel rack training on a tight timeline, we turned to Ancora Training. Their dedicated team delivered a tailored curriculum on time, with all the requested materials. Their support during the launch proved their commitment to quality,” said Mike Lichtfuss, Chief People Officer of Smart Care.
John Kearns, Smart Care’s Senior Training Manager, added, “If I were to use a word to describe the experience with Ancora Training: Impressive. Quality material in a timely manner customized to my company’s needs and wants. We could not be happier with our experience.”
Ancora Training is dedicated to offering tailored training solutions for a wide range of industries, and the collaboration with Smart Care reflects Ancora Training’s commitment to helping companies upskill or reskill their teams.
