  • Step 3: Training - DIY Online or coordinate with your your company's on-the-job field trainer. Interactive online modules with real-world examples, assessments, & resources.

"I'm onboarding new hires in 3-6 months instead of 18, and not losing my senior staff to burnout with the new hires."

Greg H

Field Crew Manager

Kevin W

CEO (McSteen Land Surveyors)

We've been able to onboard new hires in weeks not months with the training program. We've grown our business from 32 to 70+ employees. It would have been literally impossible without One MC's Training Program.

Greg H

Field Crew Manager

This is the most complete on-the-job land surveying training I have ever seen. There's really nothing like it in the industry and the industry is in dire need of this to keep up with talent shortages. I used to spend months training our new hires out in the field. Experienced hires are so rare nowadays so we have to consider people without industry experience. Training them takes precious time from my senior employees. I'm onboarding new hires in 3-6 months instead of 18, and not losing my senior staff to burnout or frustration with the newbies.

Taylor D

Survey Field Crew (new hire)

I love the fact that I was able to learn the land surveying basics before being thrown into the field. I'm more aware of what's going on in the field. I liked being able to learn the calculations and why we're doing certain things. I know I could always ask questions and that someone would be available.

Hunter P

Survey Tech (experienced hire)

All in all, I believe anyone would benefit from the training! It was a nice refresher and I believe it was a great jumping-off point for starting my new role!
