Sixteen Boilermakers from construction lodges across Canada attended the fourth annual all-Canadian project management course November 3-8 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The week-long course was taught by Dale "Skipper" Branscum, Director of Construction Division Services for the IBB, Gerry Klimo, Local 154 (Pittsburgh), Safety Training Coordinator, and Greg Blender, Horton CBI.
"We wanted contractor participation," said Grant Jacobs, Director of National Training (Canada), "and Horton stepped up to the plate, bringing relevant, up-to-date project management expertise to the program."
Also contributing to the training were Canadian National Director of Safety, Jason McInnis, and International Representative, Cory Channon. The course included 18 sections covering the various disciplines of project management, such as planning and scheduling, conflict resolution, cost control and tracking, managing customer expectations, and quality control.
Members who may be interested in the next project management course should contact the training coordinator of their local lodge for more information.
