RV Retailer has announced the opening of the RVR University Training Center in the Dallas/Fort Worth market in Texas. The Training Center is on the company’s flagship Motor Home Specialist 80-acre dealership campus.
“This new RVR University Training Center is a major investment towards building the industry-leading training and development programs for our associates,” said Jon Ferrando, CEO and president of RV Retailer. “This will support our RVR University curriculum for virtually every store position from general managers to service techs. This is a multi-million-dollar commitment in state-of-the-art classroom training along with fully-equipped service tech training facilities with over 45 bays available on site for hands-on tech training.”
Ferrando added, “This is the first of three RVR University Training Centers we will open in 2021, with the other two located in the Charlotte, N.C. and Salt Lake City markets. The locations were selected for the convenience for our associates and industry-leading service facilities for hands on training of our service technicians with over 100 service bays available for tech training. Investing in the development of our associates is critical to ensure we can keep up with the tremendous pace of growth at RV Retailer across the United States amidst strong demand for RVs and RV service.”
“We will be conducting programs for seven RV dealership positions at our RVR University Training Centers this year from a service technician program to leadership training in our general manager program,” said Taylore Elliott, chief human resource officer. “Our goal is to conduct training for over 1,000 associates at our RVRU Training Centers this year.”
