All Flynn coaches attended Flynn university for Frontline Coaches (FUFC), which covers topics that will provide our coaches with the tools they need to better help their rookies. Our coaches volunteered for this program so that they could show a new generation how rewarding a career in the trades can be, while building their own legacy at Flynn.
To apply to be a coach, visit www.FlynnUniversity.com.
The coaching app was developed to make Flynn’s culture thrive, one coach and one rookie at a time. The Flynn coaching app helps rookies get up to speed in their new position. It provides information about the trade and a direct line to your coach, an experienced trades person with training as a coach for new employees. The app gives rookies a better understanding of just how rewarding a career in the trades can be.
You can get your employee number from your paystub or foreman who has your employee number for digital time capture
You can contact Helpdesk at [email protected].
Only a coach and the system administrator can view the Coach’s Notes.
Explain what exactly you are doing and agree on a plan that will work for you, your supervisor, and your rookie.
Charge it to the task that you are training on. For example, if you are teaching your rookie how to do setup you would charge to setup (on job training).

Not at this time, submission to the app is planned for future release.
The purpose of being coached is to learn new things. The learning outcome is more important than the score, so there shouldn’t be an argument. You could ask you coach what you could do differently next time to improve.
If you notice you still have a rookie on your list, please message him/her and find out why he/she has not found a new coach and help him/her find a new coach so that all of your hard work is not wasted.

Yes, anyone who is interested in documenting their learning to date and future learning through the app can us it.

For Coaches: Developing rookies is considered a legitimate workplace activity and will be paid for by the company
For Rookies: On the job training is paid by the company. However, some videos may be better viewed on a wireless network which may need to take a few minutes at home in preparation for doing the task the next day
You can change the language in settings or in your Profile under preferred language.
The purpose of coaching is to encourage the rookie and motivate them to learn new things. The learning outcome is more important than the score, so there shouldn’t be an argument.
3 rookies at a time would be considered the maximum, to ensure that you have sufficient time to dedicate to each rookie without it interfering with you doing your job duties.
There is no time limit, as long as you and your coach agree to keep training. However, the program is designed for a 6-month duration. The longer the coach and rookie relationship the easier it becomes to communicate with one another and the more beneficial it becomes to both the coach, and the rookie.
Coaches should try and arrange with the foreman/superintendent that the rookie is paired with a new trained coach. As a coach it is your responsibility to make sure your rookie does not end up without a coach.
