The Importance of Continuing Education in the Elevator Industry

Eric Rittenhouse, an instructor with National Elevator Industry Education Program (NEIEP at www.neiep.org)  recently sat down with us to share his thoughts on why the NEIEP programs and continuing education is critical to the men and women working as elevator mechanics, technicians, constructors.

Some of the areas he highlights include teaching not only about real-life situations that happen in the field, but also problems that are not common but may still come up. He also touched upon the importance of continuing education due to ever-changing nature of the technology in the elevator industry.
