MODERN EDUCATION is the way forward

MT Copeland and Promise Homes believe that investing in a quality training program will pay dividends for years to come. Hiring quality talent in construction is more challenging than ever before. By some estimates, it can cost over $4,000 to hire a new carpenter, and an additional $3,800 to replace someone when they depart your organization. But, employees are 94% more likely to stay with a company that invests in developing their career growth and future skills. At the Promise Homes Company, our mission is to bring institutional quality ownership and management to the fragmented and growing SFR home market in underserved communities. Since launching in May 2017, by John Hope Bryant (Founder and CEO of Operation HOPE), Promise Homes has become one of the largest minority-owned managers of institutional-quality, single- family residential rental property in the United States, with a focus on working class and middle class communities. Promise Homes supports residents with financial training, credit counseling, and economic incentives, as well as a path to home ownership. Our work improves communities by supporting women- and minority-owned businesses, focusing on local job creation, and empowering residents to create a financially secure and stable resident base.

How The Cleary Company Reduced Onboarding Time For New Hires by 240 Hours

The Cleary Company is a high-end design build-remodel firm in Columbus, Ohio, with an average project size of $150,000. Because their lead carpenters would retire in 5-10 years, and their younger team expected faster career growth and rewards for hard work, they needed a new solution to train new, inexperienced employees more quickly. Thomas King, the Director of Construction, knew he needed to invest in training to stay competitive, but local programs would take valuable time away on the job. That’s when he found MT Copeland. He was immediately impressed with the quality of information, and started enrolling his younger carpenters in courses like How to Read Blueprints, Introduction to Interior Finish Carpentry and How House Framing Works before sending them to the job site, ready to practice. Before, if an employee wanted to learn how construction framing works, they’d have to shadow and ask questions, slowing down projects. Now a lead carpenter doesn’t have to spend hours of time identifying load bearing walls or teaching the structural elements such as load paths, which saves the company $8,600 per employee by reducing hours of teaching new hires the basics on site.

7-14 days Reduction in on-site training time per skill 0 hours Spent away from the job at local colleges or apprenticeship programs $26K Savings in onboarding costs per year

“With MT Copeland, new hires already understand skills conceptually, and now their hands are just going through the motions of putting it together. So, it’s extremely advantageous in that regard.”

-The Cleary Company
