Employees at Richco say they’re grateful for the English classes offered at the company. The classes are three times a week. The program offered a beginner’s class and a more advanced class. The 30-minute classes are paid for by Richco and happen while the employees are on the clock.
Richco staff is taught everything from parts of the trusses they manufacture to everyday sentences.
"A lot of them will say it real simply and they say it really helps them will their life and they're grateful. And I think that's awesome" Production Supervisor, Aaron Lindeman explains.
Lindeman is one of the supervisors who is a part of the literacy program as well. However, he's learning Spanish.
The director of Human Resources, Kathy Kane, says “Not only are our Spanish-speaking employees excited about learning English, but our English-speaking employees are really excited about learning Spanish so they can communicate with them too.”
Richco Structures has been an LMC Dealer since 2006.
