Owens Corning University (OCU) Expands Capabilities and Course Offerings

New platform and programming launches September 18, 2023.

Roofing school is back in session with new content and capabilities presented by Owens Corning University (OCU). A revamped “OCU 2.0” platform inspired by contractor feedback makes it easy to navigate courses and identify content to support every member of a contractor’s team.

Today’s roofing contractors continue to invest in ongoing education to help refine their business, scale the organization and provide a meaningful path for employees to continue to develop and grow. The new OCU experience enhances owner capabilities, provides new educational material, and encourages ongoing learning through modular paths to help support their training investment.

Following are some highlights of new content and capabilities debuting on this one-stop learning resource September 18:

• Tracking capabilities – Owners and location managers can assign, track and review their team’s learning progress, creating an environment where learning is continually advancing. System-generated analytics provide insights on progress.
• Smart Snacks –Snackable content will be offered around new topics including ventilation, sales, storm and lead generation, with modular and video-based learning tracks made for the modern learner that can be digested in 15 minutes or less from a phone or a computer.
• File Vault – Owners and location managers can upload their own learning content in a variety of file types into the OCU platform, providing a one-stop destination for all training materials.

Owens Corning University is celebrating its five-year anniversary—and throughout those five years has been committed to helping contractors succeed.

Today’s OCU platform offers 24/7 access to a host of training topics designed to help support the growth of a contractor’s business and the development of their employees, supporting all aspects of their business.

Commenting on the new platform and course offerings, Jon Gardner, Senior Leader, Strategic Partnerships & Learning and Development, stated, “It’s all about helping our contactors solve problems and scale. We can’t wait to see how the new platform and learning content helps bring more value to members of the Owens Corning Roofing Contractor Network.”

OCU content is free of charge and available to all members of the Owens Corning Roofing Contractor Network. Contractors in the Owens Corning Roofing Contractor Network can access the new OCU here.
