Mohawk University Website Revamped

Dalton, GA, June 14, 2007--Mohawk University is one of the most valuable training resources in the floorcovering industry. Dealers, installers, and retail salespeople from around the nation attend more than 100 training courses each year held in cities across the country.

Now dealers only need to go to the nearest computer to take advantage of what the industry’s leading training institution has to offer.

Mohawk University has revamped its entire website, adding features, content, and function. The website is now online and gives the floorcovering industry instant access to information that can make an immediate impact on store sales.

The new website provides an online way for individuals to register for Mohawk University classes, plus it offers an expanded Resource Center where dealers can order materials available in the Mohawk University library, including award-winning training CD-ROM programs, installation and measurement tools (at discount prices), and other items.

In addition, a new E-Learning function places a number of Mohawk University training sessions on the website itself, allowing viewers to complete the interactive courses online.

“This will allow more people to utilize Mohawk University,” said David Duncan, Vice President of Marketing for Mohawk. “Our research tells us that dealers want more of their staff to attend Mohawk University training, but it isn’t always practical to take employees out of the store during business hours. The online training provided by Mohawk University offers learning without travel, and gives dealers the ability for their staff to be trained in a multitude of subjects.”

The website also includes a calendar and descriptions of all Mohawk University courses, biographies of Mohawk University trainers, and other useful information.

Mohawk University, the training arm of Mohawk Industries, teaches thousands of people each year how to become experts in different aspects of the floorcovering business, covering everything from installation to business operations. Courses can help novices learn the fundamentals, or make seasoned veterans even better.

And it’s all done objectively, with no sales or marketing distractions.

Mohawk University has won numerous awards for its programs within the flooring covering industry, and has been recognized by professional training organizations internationally for its work, including Media Communications Association International, and the American Advertising Federation. In 2007, Mohawk University was recognized as one of Training Magazine’s Top 125 training organizations.
