Life Science Training Center A Win-Win for Waltham-Based Janitronics
WALTHAM — David Connolly, President of Janitronics Building Services, recognized the value of investing in the creation of a Life Science Laboratory training center at the company’s Waltham, MA headquarters as a critical resource for workforce development. Initially, the purpose was to enhance the capabilities of their GMP cleaning team by providing them with real-world exposure to cutting-edge clean lab technologies. However, Connolly found that the impact of the new facility extended far beyond workforce development, influencing customer relationships and attracting potential clients.
“We created this space to give our GMP cleaning team the tools and training they need to stay at the forefront of the Life Sciences sector,” Connolly explained. “We also saw an opportunity to showcase our commitment to this growing industry by offering a hands-on look at our capabilities to current and prospective clients.”
The 1,500-square-foot training center, which combines both laboratory and classroom spaces, has proven to be an invaluable asset for Janitronics. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Connolly. “Clients and prospects are impressed by the level of detail in our training and the real-world scenarios we demonstrate. Seeing the equipment, gowning rooms, and safety procedures in action provides a clear picture of our expertise in maintaining GMP standards.”
In addition to the innovative facility, Janitronics plans to offer clients and prospects transportation to and from the training facility via company vans – transforming the visit into an interactive, event-like experience. “It’s important to us that our clients feel not just informed, but truly involved in what we do,” Connolly remarked. “This hands-on approach fosters stronger relationships and reinforces our commitment to excellence.”
Connolly says the Training Center has proven to be a unique and personalized experience that deepens client trust and underscores Janitronics’ dedication to service and innovation.
