“We are thrilled to return to Chicago for Fastener Training Week (FTW),” said Jo Morris, Marketing Director for Fastener Training Institute. “FTW is our end-to-end training program. Students gain incredible knowledge and skills from our industry expert instructors and form connections which last well beyond the week,” she added.

Fastener Training Week in Chicago will cover topics such as manufacturing processes, consensus standards and quality control and will be taught by leading industry experts Laurence Claus, IFI Director of Education and Training and Carmen Vertullo, Fastener Consultant and Trainer, Carver Labs.

Professionals in fastener sales, purchasing, manufacturing or quality assurance are encouraged to attend.
