Case Study: Vulcan Materials Company achieves standardized training and closes skills gaps across 220+ locations with Vector Solutions

Vulcan Addresses Skills Gap and Transforms Training Program Across 220+ Locations

Vulcan Materials Company, a leading provider of stone, gravel, and aggregate with more than 8,100 employees at over 220 sites, faced a major training challenge: keeping workers current on compliance, safety, and job skills under strict OSHA and MSHA rules while relying almost entirely on limited in-person instruction. To address this, Vulcan turned to Vector Solutions and its MSHA (Mining) Course Library and HSE (Health, Safety, and Environmental) Training Library to expand delivery options and standardize training.

Vector Solutions implemented a blended online and live training program that eliminated Vulcan’s training backlog, standardized content across 220+ locations, and closed employee skills gaps. The change freed instructor time previously booked a year in advance, improved resource allocation and prioritization, and was well received by staff and administrators — one safety manager even said, “This is just like Christmas.”
