This five-day program is used regularly by industrial plants and industries utilizing cross-training to increase productivity, effectiveness and flexibility in their workforce. It also provides an excellent foundation in electrical maintenance and troubleshooting for workers entering apprenticeship programs, leapfrogging them several years ahead in their knowledge, skills and abilities.
The successful student will receive a solid understanding of single and three phase electrical systems, installation procedures and troubleshooting techniques. The program places maximum emphasis on teaching troubleshooting and preventive maintenance skills combined with safe work practices and procedures. This program saved one client a year of OJT with increases in safety, quality and productivity.
Who should attend: Millwrights, mechanics, and other trades who's jobs require a certain amount of cross training in industrial electrical systems. This also includes workers who may need simply to communicate effectively with electrical workers.
