Schooley Mitchell provides all new Franchisees with an intensive 7 day initial training program at The Telecom Institute, as well as an intensive first year mentoring and coaching program. The training then continues with hands-on training as you begin the operation of the Franchise. Continuous training takes place via our intranet, through our support staff, through sessions near your community with suppliers of technology solutions and via other distance learning initiatives. The initial training includes "hands-on" training with live client cases as well as marketing, telecom, computer and technical training. Head office staff also continues to train you through our support team, as you execute your initial client engagements. In addition to all of these vehicles to keep you up to date and provide training to you, each Franchisee attends our annual conference where the newest technologies are reviewed and the successes of all of our vast network of Consultants are shared with peers.
