Foreperson Foundational Skills | Information Session
This information session will identify jobsite productivity issues. These issues aren't the fault of workers or even the companies, but due to the lack of systems or checklists. While earning Red Seals, workers learned how to be specialists in their respective trades, but that training doesn't include leadership and organization skills. The Foreperson Foundational Skills program provides the framework that guides workers towards better organization and reduces or eliminates the cost of rework.
