A Training Podcast to Engage Learners
Delivering Safe Digging and Damage Prevention Education
Meeting Learners Where They Are with “Toolbox Talks”
JULIE (Illinois Notification Center) needed a way to extend critical safety messaging beyond traditional training. With a diverse audience of excavators, utility professionals, and damage prevention stakeholders, the challenge was clear: how to deliver timely, practical insights that crews could easily access and apply in the field.
A Podcast Built for the Field
d’Vinci partnered with JULIE to develop Toolbox Talks, a six-episode podcast series focused on safe digging, damage prevention, and protecting underground infrastructure. Our team provided end-to-end production—coordinating schedules, conducting research, facilitating interviews, and editing branded episodes. Each episode blends expert perspectives with real-world application.
d’Vinci provided podcast production files and strategic guidance on distribution platforms, and developed robust functionality to host episodes within the JULIEEssentials.com training website and our ecoLearn® LMS we developed.
Supporting Ongoing Safety Training
By meeting learners in a format they already use, Toolbox Talks reinforces key training concepts and keeps safety top of mind. The series helps JULIE extend its educational impact—ensuring important updates, best practices, and compliance insights reach the field, where they matter most.
