The Training Centre Builds Skills for the Future
Message from the Director.
As I write this the sky is blue, the sun is shining and the days are noticeably warmer and longer, a sure sign that spring is here – what a nice feeling.
The months leading up to spring have been busy. The winter/spring training schedule began in January, the health and safety conference ran last month, classes started at our new training centre in Neepawa and grade 12 classes began at the training centre in Brandon for the first time.
The next few months will be equally as busy. Training courses will continue until the end of June and members will be taking health & safety and shop steward workshops, English as an additional Language classes, computer, first-aid, Pilates and grade 12 classes.
We are planning now for the grade 12 graduation ceremonies in Winnipeg and Brandon in June. In Neepawa, we are working towards offering summer computer classes. We are doing our best to make sure all members are aware of the scholarship opportunities available and believe it or not, we are in the middle of creating our fall training schedule and we need your help.
I am asking all members for their input. What do you want to see offered this fall? Is there a specific computer course you want to take, do you have an idea for a workshop, and have you been patiently waiting for something that has not been offered yet? Please let us know.
This is your training centre and we want to offer courses that are of interest to you. Call Wanda McGorum, our program co-ordinator or me with your ideas. We can be reached at 775-8329 or toll-free 1-877-775-8329.
