As part of our ongoing technician training program, our training department has developed a technical skills test. This is to validate the effectiveness of our training program as well as the technicians’ retention of the proper assembly methodology.
At SRC, we are a big believer in the power of incentives. As such, we have developed a contest to award our top technician. Over the course of the next several months, there is a battery of training and testing to help identify our top tech. The winner will receive a check for $5000 as well as the parking spot of their choice for 2023.
For the first round of testing, we asked 57 questions such as:
True / False: For press fit of a bearing, press the inner race of the shaft side and the outer race of the hole side.
