NEW - Operator Supervisor's Course - Winter
Make Your Supervisors Better!
This is a two day supervisor’s course that we will be running in Kitchener, Kingston, Edmonton, Calgary, Fredericton & Moncton in January & February 2010.
This course will be of tremendous interest and value for all supervisors, patrollers, fleet managers and public works foremen. In fact, anyone who has responsibilities for fleet and equipment operations will benefit from this course.
One of the biggest challenges that we find within municipalities is the fact that the “bosses” often do not have a thorough comprehension of, or the ability to locate the knowledge required to be able to properly supervise their operators with the skill and confidence they need.
