Genfoot partners with WMCC to launch leadership training for employees
December 16, 2020BERLIN White Mountains Community College (WMCC) recently partnered with Genfoot, a Canadian-owned factory in Littleton that manufactures rubber and sewn boots, to offer a Frontline Management Essentials course to groom and prepare Genfoot s shift leaders for career advancement within the company. Eight Genfoot shift leaders completed the course in November and are now prepared to share new concepts with leaders and fellow crew members. Because of the necessary skills needed for Genfoot s exclusive technology, it s been difficult to hire outward, said Mark Bonta, plant manager. By partnering with WMCC to create a workforce development program, we are investing in the personal career goals of our people and the quality of our culture and are grooming our younger generation to be successful and ready for promotion.
