Education Workshops
ILICA hosts a number of training and education workshops throughout the year. While Winter Convention contains a number of diversified training sessions, our spring education workshop typically focuses on business, safety & flagger or forklift certifications. And our summer education workshop centers around drainage design, technology, and certification. We continue to add to our education efforts, so if you have a need for training on a specific topic please send us a request!
