HEADLINE
In this issue we take another look back at the IDEAL Nationals, this time from the perspective of apprentice, David Collier. This was David's first time experiencing the event and he made it all the way to the semi-finals, the first Canadian apprentice to do so. You'll also find an article we did in collaboration with CSA Group looking at the importance of EMC Testing for manufacturers. NETCO is getting ready to roll out another VR training program, this time for hoisting and rigging. CAF-FCA released the success of their National Leadership Development pilot program aimed at developing and promoting women in the trades. |
