FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 12, 2025 – LCS is pleased to announce its successful collaboration with Pattern Energy in the development of comprehensive and technology-specific training materials designed to enhance the skillsets of front-line workers in the renewable energy sector. Recognizing the need for structured and adaptable training solutions, Pattern Energy sought an experienced partner to help develop materials that support a range of learning styles and technical applications. Jake Black, Training Manager at Pattern Energy, emphasized the importance of this initiative: "We found that we needed to partner with someone with the knowledge and expertise to develop a technology-specific schematic training program for our front-line workers." Through this partnership, LCS has delivered in-depth training materials that allow for site-specific customization, ensuring a balance between thorough content and practical application. Black further noted: "Material was very thorough, well thought out, and well cadenced. It’s very beneficial to have the content built out so thoroughly as it allows us to expand in areas of need and contract in others to be brief, but direct and accurate." The training program integrates various teaching methodologies, including PowerPoint presentations, hands-on exercises, and in-field practicals, ensuring technicians receive a well-rounded learning experience: "The courses present a balance of teaching modalities that serve the different learning styles of our population. The mix of PPTs and hands-on activities coupled with in-field practicals create a well-rounded training program that best fits the needs of our technicians."

Lamb Consulting Services and Pattern Energy Strengthen Training Programs with ‘Train-the-Trainer’ Initiative
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 12, 2025 – LCS is proud to announce its successful collaboration with Pattern Energy in delivering an advanced Train-the-Trainer (TtT) program aimed at equipping internal trainers with the skills necessary to lead effective training at the site level. Recognizing the importance of structured instructional delivery, Pattern Energy partnered with LCS to develop a training curriculum and material that they could use internally to up-skill the front-line technicians. In addition to developing the material, LCS was commissioned to coach two experienced Field Engineers on how to deliver the material on-site and on the units. Jake Black, Training Manager at Pattern Energy, emphasized the program’s benefits: "The Train-the-Trainer program lends a structured outline on various topics where the learner, who will eventually teach the course, can view how practically the content can be taught at the site level." The initiative not only prepared future trainers but also provided an opportunity to assess and refine training materials in real-time, leading to a more effective and adaptable training structure. As Black further noted: "I found the most beneficial part of the TtT course was that it allowed us to understand our successes and areas of improvement for the course going forward – we are always seeking improvements to better serve our technicians." One of the successful graduates of the program, Dan Halloway, a Field Engineer at Pattern Energy, highlighted the impact of the training materials and the dedication of the LCS team: "The training material that LCS and I developed was very detailed. It started when Shawn Lamb came to our site and examined the turbine, spare parts, and asked questions about what topics needed to be covered. We then came up with a game plan to develop PowerPoints, exercises, tests, and even practical Assessments to be performed on the turbine.
Halloway appreciated the ability to be involved from the start of the project, which began in mid-2024, adding:
“After the train-the-trainer program I felt I was able to effectively take the material and deliver it to new-to-the-industry technicians. One of my favorite takeaways from working with LCS is seeing Shawn’s high level of determination and focus on helping field technicians improve their overall level of effectiveness in troubleshooting, while keeping safety always front-of-mind." Through this initiative, LCS and Pattern Energy are ensuring that their workforce receives high-quality, scalable training that enhances technical knowledge and safety awareness across the fleet.
