A number of years ago we came to the realization that in a short time we would be at a point where we would be losing years of experience through retirement.
At that time we had a rudimentary training process that we had regarded as ‘father to son’ training. This is what had been used for years and would be very similar to what most facilities would be using at the time. Senior Operators worked with new operators training them in all aspects of the WTP operation.
It was a good tool but lacked a structure that was necessary to prove proficiency & competency in many aspects.
We began to design a twofold system that would take new staff through two separate paths that we hoped would culminate in a better trained operator.
