VMEC, along with our partner, the VT Dept. of Labor (DOL), is offering to Vermont manufacturers our newest learning opportunity, a multi-week intensive experience, geared to enhance your organization’s training, leadership and apprenticeship initiatives. While primarily designed for manufacturing leaders, this program is open and applicable to all industries.

Leading in Industry – Training and Apprenticeship Reimagined includes virtual group (dates – November 4, 11, 18 and December 9) and individual (to be scheduled based on your availability) sessions.  With support to work on your specific objective, program and practices, topic areas will include:

Training and Development Establishing visible, adaptable pathways through a structured training and development process. From onboarding through upskilling, the focus includes consistency and stability as employees transition in and out of roles or retire.

Strengthening Relationships Mentors and trainers with effective interpersonal and problem solving skills make a measurable difference on retention, safety, quality and productivity. They can develop these skills using consistent models and patterns, resulting in effective communication.

Improvement and Innovation Leaders in their industry drive positive change every day with foundational skills like defining the problem that needs to be solved and improving team effectiveness, managing priorities and accepting help and accountability. Good leaders are coaches that support the diverse perspectives and analysis of the facts, turning options into action with learning and better outcomes.

What will you take away from this dynamic experience? 

• A framework and resources to make your company training more effective and efficient
• Consistent leadership tools
• Products and learning from diverse perspectives and organizations
• Invitations to coach and be coached
