Cominco's response was to initiate an employee-driven Skills Centre, providing workshops and courses beyond regular job training. Courses have included Introduction to Computers, Introduction to the Internet, Technical Writing and Grade 12 Completion workshops. Established for all employees, TLC's courses are chosen and developed based on employee interest and in-put. WTS specializes in providing flexible, customized on-site learning access to clients throughout North America. Since 1989, it has established and managed over 30 technology-enhanced Skills Centres in communities and industries throughout British Columbia.
Employees are able to control the time, pace and content of their training.
Operating as a business division of The Open Learning Agency, WTS can also provide workplace learners with academic credit for workplace training. At Trail Operations, all courses allow for progression under the guidance and support of qualified teacher, Coordinator Jane Power. We provide access for all Cominco students who wish to pursue learning. That may mean students taking courses here, at TLC, or it may mean that we support students with our computer lab and study resources while they join classes in the community or via distance education.
