Benefits to the Business and to the Employees

The co-operation and community effort of Boeing employees, both Deaf and hearing, the larger Deaf community of Winnipeg, management and CAW Local 2169 in the development of these curricula have given each of these groups a deeper respect for one another. All have reported that this training has provided many benefits and options for employees both at work and in their daily lives. This Essential Skills training provides the foundation for further training and career advancement opportunities as well as the satisfaction that comes with successful completion of certification requirements.
