The primary objective of National Silicates’ workplace training program is to upgrade the skill levels of the plant operators and to enable them to be multi-skilled and competent in all areas within the plant operations.
Document Highlights
The Chemical Process Operator program began in 1995 when the national Silicates and four other industrial chemical companies realized a common need to upgrade the skills of their employees. The CPO program had developed into a 6,000 hour, in-house training program made up of 90 interactive CD-ROM modules and an extensive hands-on training practicum. This training program is one of the few recognized by the Province of Ontario and the chemical industry.
The skills that employees gain in the CPO program are transferable and can be used in other jobs within the chemical industry – giving employees an opportunity for advancement within the process operator field or within the broader chemical industry.
