The 40-hour course is designed to be presented in eight five-hour classes.
This set of practice tests is one of the resources for a 40-hour course developed to train people for jobs in water/wastewater treatment facilities.
The document includes tests for material covered in five of the eight course modules: measurement conversions; linear, area and volume calculations; chemical measurements; hydraulics; and wastewater and electricity.
This glossary is one of the resources for a 40-hour course designed to train people for jobs in water and wastewater treatment facilities.
It includes definitions both for mathematical terms like "area" and "fractions" and for terms related to the wastewater sector, like "grit channel" and "detention time".
This is the curriculum for a 40-hour course developed to train people to work in water and wastewater treatment facilities.
The curriculum has been designed to be presented in eight modules: a basic math refresher; fractions, decimals and percents; measurement conversions; linear, area and volume calculations; solving equations; chemical measurements; hydraulics; and wastewater and electricity.
This document provides an overview of a course designed to train people to work in water and wastewater treatment facilities.
The course consists of eight classes, each five hours in length. Course materials include a pre-assessment test, along with eight modules for the teacher to complete with learners.
In the 1990s, Winnipeg-based Bristol Aerospace launched a workforce skills upgrading program to help prepare the company to expand into new markets.
Bristol began with a workplace-based Adult Basic Education (ABE) program offering 80 hours of training over 20 weeks. From there, the company partnered with Red River Community College to develop and deliver technical training programs.
This Conference Board of Canada case study focuses on the workplace training program at Bristol-Myers Squibb, a pharmaceutical company involved in both research and development and manufacturing. While some of the company's employees are highly educated, others require upgrading in basic pharmaceutical research and manufacturing skills.
This report presents the findings of a research study commissioned by the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (CFA). The CFA is a multi-partite organization comprised of business, labour, government, educators and other groups that promotes apprenticeship as an effective training and education system and provides a mechanism for key stakeholders to support apprenticeship-delivery systems across Canada.
