When you hear the name “Trigard”, what comes to mind? For many in the industry, it’s synonymous with strength, innovation, and quality.
But did you know that Trigard also offers an unparalleled learning opportunity called Trigard University, or TU for short?
Founded from a commitment to empower our customers, TU provides attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the products they represent, better preparing them to champion the Trigard brand.
Whether you’re a newcomer to the Trigard family or have been a long-time partner, there’s invaluable insight to be gained by visiting Danville, Illinois and participating in TU.
So without further ado, we’d like to share the top five reasons to attend Trigard University.
1. Discover Ways to Grow Your Business
Stepping away from their daily operations to attend TU allows attendees to immerse themselves in a fun, all-encompassing educational experience.
Participants engage in roundtable discussions with Trigard owners and our seasoned management team. These conversations are complemented by brainstorming sessions focused on business development and tackling the challenges that often come with growth.
Best practices and strategies to strengthen their product mix and boost sales averages are also discussed. The learning that takes place is multifaceted, and we always gain valuable insights from the contributions of our valued customers.
2. Tour Manufacturing Facilities
Touring Trigard’s manufacturing plants provides a unique opportunity to witness the ins and outs of our production processes up close.
Participants get to see the precision and advanced technology involved in producing each burial vault liner. They have the chance to talk with the experts behind the scenes, including our plant managers and machinists.
Our goal is for alumni to return to their businesses equipped with invaluable knowledge that they can share with their customers or client families. Additionally, we want participants to be able to confidently answer questions, address concerns, and offer fresh insights.
3. Take Part in Training
Customized training tailored to the specific needs and objectives of participants is a key component of TU.
As a supplier that also owns funeral homes and a memorial park, we encounter many of the same challenges our customers face. This hands-on experience with Trigard products gives us a unique perspective that we incorporate into our training modules.
Guidance on how to optimally utilize the comprehensive resources we offer – from the latest digital tools to the most current print materials and wall displays – is woven throughout the training sessions.
4. Grasp the Full Scope of Our Business
Trigard University offers an enlightening experience, shedding light on the intricacies of our varied businesses and our extensive range of products, services, and expertise.
Every TU participant gets to tour our Danville funeral home location, memorial park, and bronze manufacturing plant. These visits allow them to gain insight into the essence of our core identity, the motivations that drive us, and the values that guide us.
From the precision needed in extruding plastic for Trigard grave liners to the artistic craftsmanship involved in crafting bronze grave memorials to the responsibilities associated with owning and operating funeral homes and cemeteries — we ensure everyone is familiar with the full scope of our operations.
5. Receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
At Trigard, we believe in lifelong learning and understand how vital it is to stay updated with the most recent knowledge and relevant information in our industry. With that in mind, we are proud to play a role in upholding the integrity and reputation of the profession.
