ISSA To Offer Training in New Partnership with Staples

ISSA, the trade association for the cleaning industry, has formed a new distribution partner program with office supplies retailer Staples in which the two will host training and certification programs at Staples training facilities across the US.

“When we think about education in our industry, it always points back to people, the heart of the industry,” said ISSA Director of Education Brant Insero. “This partnership will allow us to bring certifications, training, and education to the masses.”

ISSA will utilize Staples training facilities across the US to host training and certification classes, and Staples will promote ISSA membership, training, consulting, and certification services.

In the alliance ISSA and Staples will work together to create career advancement opportunities that will help to elevate the cleaning industry.

“We have over two million businesses across the US that we support, and hundreds of employees in the jan/san space,” said Mike Cusick, VP of facility solutions at Staples. “Combining the resources and best practices of ISSA with what we offer at Staples, it’s really going to make a powerful difference in the industry.”
