NEFI Education Foundation and QSC launch Continuing Education Partnership

Written on: February 26, 2025 by ICM

The NEFI Education Foundation and Quality Service Contractors (QSC), an enhanced service group of the Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Contractors (PHCC) National Association, are proud to announce the launch of their new Continuing Education Partnership.

The first program to be offered through this partnership will be a year-long Service Manager Peer Group Education Program, beginning April 22, 2025. The Peer Group will provide a monthly forum for service managers to exchange ideas, gain valuable business insights, drive sales and create an environment of success.

Additional education programs will be developed over the coming months to meet the needs of NEFI members. Potential topics include business growth and success, customer service, peak financial performance, emotional intelligence, and others as requested. Course formats may be offered as single-session seminars/webinars, a series of Zoom meetings, or regularly scheduled round-tables, as best fits the topic. NEFI and QSC will consider all viable suggestions.

“This new education partnership with PHCC and its QSC program is designed to help meet one of our members’ most pressing needs—workforce growth and professional development—as well as business profitability and enhanced operations in an ever-evolving market,” said Jim Collura, NEFI President & CEO.

Stated Beth Dobkin, Program Director for QSC, “Peer groups unlock a wealth of collective wisdom, where businesses collaborate, share successes and elevate each other to new heights of innovation and growth.”

“Spark your purpose and let participation in a peer group be the catalyst for your business,” Dobkin added.

Registration for the Service Manager program is open to service managers at NEFI-member companies. Space is limited. Whenever possible, peer groups will be created of participants with similar skill sets, years of experience, and company size. Registration is open through March 24.
