This is our 21st year offering courses to help our instructors increase their teaching skills. While we are confident that our instructors are very competent in teaching the skills of the trade, the one outstanding issue that has been brought to our attention has been, “Help me to be a better instructor.”
Each Local will decide who would like to attend these courses. We strongly recommend that each Local and their Apprenticeship Coordinator “map out” a plan of who will attend these courses. We would like to see every Local that has a Registered Apprenticeship Program participate in this program.
