Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association
Job Training and Safety Program

 

WSTA’s Telecommunications Job Training and Safety Program has been in existence for more than 35 years. This highly successful program has helped small, medium and some large telcos create and keep a high level of safety awareness among their employees, maintain a safe working environment and provide safety training required by such government entities as OSHA, the PSC, the Wisconsin DOT and private insurance companies.

The program, which has been administered through the state Technical College system, consists of five 6-hour classes at 5 locations around the state. WSTA’s Education and Safety Committee has worked diligently with the Technical College system and its program instructor to create and maintain the course.

This is the seventh year, Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College (WITC) Rice Lake has agreed to contract directly with each participating company, based on the number of students enrolled. Based on the support for the program shown last year, the school will plan on holding classes at the 5 locations listed on the schedule. There will be five classes at each location beginning December 1 and ending February 25.

WITC Rice Lake's registration fee is $375 per student. The school will handle all of the administrative tasks, including registering students, billing participating companies and sending certificates. Pre-registration is required by November 23, 2009.

For your convenience, a registration form, a schedule of classes and a list of class topics for the 2009-2010 year are available on the WSTA web site at http://www.wsta.info/training.htm.  Please print the registration forms, fill them out and submit them to:

WSTA’s Education and Safety Committee continues to monitor the program looking for ways to upgrade the content and delivery process so that companies and employees will benefit even more. We are seeking input from all of our member companies. Please continue to take advantage of this educational opportunity. Thank you.
