The FM Pipeline Team’s K12 Facilithon ™ program is innovating once again, helping FM association members create thriving next-gen facility management ecosystems through their new Educational landscape survey tool, being distributed to FM associations through the United States. This simple, quick survey helps association leaders understand

  • what members have experienced relating to FM education of any kind
  • what members know about their local and statewide educational landscape as it relates to FM and built-environment education
  • where educational opportunities exist for facility management, engineering and maintenance programs to be created
  • how willing members are to volunteer and collaborate toward a highly-active entry-level talent program
  • introduces members to the Facilithon program’s potential in their state and locally, where Facilithon program outcomes occur

This landscape survey is available through FM Pipeline Team, Inc., available to association partners and chapter leaders in the United States.  The FM Pipeline Team curates specific landscape tools for international Facilithon initiatives; reach out to admin@fmpipeline.org for more information.
