September 7, 2011 - On the Road Course Strikes Home Run for Minnesota Cleaners
The Drycleaning & Laundry Institute’s first-ever On the Road course brought the basics of drycleaning to Minneapolis, Minnesota, August 15-19. Brian Johnson, DLI Director of Education & Analysis, taught seven students the ins and outs of drycleaning, finishing, stain removal, and much more. E. Weinberg Supply and Best Cleaners provided the instruction environment and students were able to learn processes and skills with DLI's customary hands-on approach.
"The students really enjoyed the class, and so did I," Johnson said. "The class was a complete success. DLI is planning to do more of these courses in other areas and we're working with our State Affiliates to determine the specifics."
Some students expressed an interest in learning Advanced Drycleaning in their home areas as well. "We're looking into how we can adapt the Advanced Drycleaning Course to the On the Road format. Stay tuned," Johnson said.
The next DLI On the Road course is scheduled for November 14-18 in West Palm Beach, Florida. New England and Texas are being targeted for potential stops. Contact your State Association or Brian Johnson for more information or to request a visit from DLI On the Road.
