    I am currently focused on introducing heavy equipment operator training and services to organizations interested in improving productivity and operational efficiency. We help mines and construction organizations:• Demonstrate continuous improvement by wringing costs out of processes and improving productivity.• Reduce operating costs and improve equipment reliability.• Respond to compliance requirements with training that explains the ‘whys’ behind the procedures• Leverage the expertise of their operator trainers by providing tools that free them to coach operators in the field and on the job site• Accelerate onboarding of seasonal or project-based equipment operators• Grow skills of inexperienced and enhance those of experienced operators through programs that expand operator skills over time.And we’ve been there for new mine start-ups and during ‘ramp ups’ following a downturn. We help:• Transition from construction to production; assisting with grant writing (for government funding), providing temporary onsite trainers and procedures writers, and trainer training tools and coaching.• Develop safe, productive operators quickly by offering a consistent knowledge base and structured On-the-Job experience.My background of skills and experience is diverse: Training and Instructional Design Manager and Performance Consulting. I'm flexible and effective no matter the circumstances. I'm a highly motivated, high-achieving Account Manager empowered with years of experience in sales and account management and demonstrated expertise in analysis, project leadership and development. I have the business intuition to define problems and provide the optimal solution.Janice JosephsonEmail: [email protected]: 1-414-791-9179
